Can you imagine if the band really was playing “Don’t be Cruel” while the paddling’s were being handed out?
The image is actually from 1960 but it has a distinct 1950s look to it. The paddle itself has seen some wear and tear and it looks like a new coat if varnish is needed.
This will be added to my F/M COLLECTION folder which is by far the most viewed folder on this website.
I’m kind of hoping the band are playing Richard Strauss’s Zarathustra… if the unfortunate chap being used as timpani, can hopefully howl in E flat! ?
Judy,
I have no idea if you know who this person is, but that composition is also the entrance theme for the professional wrestler, Ric Flair. Now I can’t get this image out of my mind of Ric Flair letting out his trademark “WOOOO” each time that the paddle lands on its victim, haha 🙂
