Ok. Here's the scoop:

I found the Disney photos at a garage sale in a scrapbook. The same garage-sale that Doctor Z found the infamous, never-used Zeppelin ticket.

Here are the Disney photos from Grad Nite, 1974:

We know he was the close friend of "Prom Boy", aka "Grad Nite Boy", who took the photos and who's scrapbook this was and who was damn funky himsef for a white boy:

But who was "Bring Da Funk Guy"?

Luckilly, the scrapbook provided this news clipping:

"Funk Man" is really Austin Perryman, Highschool Senior, Class of 1974, President of his own business - "Glo-w-Rite Candle Company".

I had friends like Austin in highschool. Self-sufficient, self-assured young men who looked and acted 5 years older than anyone else at school. Maybe they ran the school newspaper or had an outside job to pay for living expenses, since they lived independent from their parents. Probably had a car before anyone else. Really cool guys. I would have been his friend for sure.

But you can still call him "Bring Da Funk Guy" if you like.
