This two-dimensional stainless steel statue is on the grounds of the Riverside Ballroom, in Green Bay, Wisconsin. I believe, that the Riverside was the second-from-last venue that the "The Winter Dance Party Tour" played in before Clear Lake, Iowa and subsequent air plane crash on the way to Fago, N. Dakota.
The figures are life-sized, and the photo just doesn't do it justice.
Name of Musician: Buddy Holly
