Howard, that's quite a catch on the male's footwork and the youngster behind. I also like the negative space with it's hints of flowers. The late 50's is too early for my radio listening days, so I went to the internet and found a top 100 rock and roll list with several possibilities. However, I'm not going to hazzard a guess. Guess you've stumped the mod... sad

After further internet searching, I'm liking Paul's guess..."Rockin Robin"...tweet, tweedly, dee from 1958. I do know that song., enlightened , although in this case it's clearly not robins.

I guess it's not "Rockin Robin"...?.... sad

I could not think of a song with a title of "putting on the squeeze play"....... enlightened

What a neat little scene. The poor kid looks terrified. No doubt dad is ready to launch the little fella skyward. blush

Another gorgeous behavioral shot, I think I like it even more than the previous one. It is hard not to attach a very human meaning to those expressions! Clueless on the song, though.
