TGIF: Granny Drummer Is Grand!
You may know the song “Daddy sang bass, Mama sang tenor,” but did you know that Grandma played drums?
No, it’s not the lead-in to a joke, but it is reality.
Recently, an elderly grandmother walked into the Coalition Drum Shop in La Crosse, WI, looked around, sat down at a drum set, then began to play. We don’t mean “hit, hit, crash” like an amateur would play — we mean she began to PLAY!
This unassuming Grandma shocked everyone when she started to slap those drum skins with a professional quickness and tenacity no one expected. She was so good, the shop owner quickly grabbed a video camera and recorded the impromptu concert as proof for anyone who might not believe such a tale.
“We have no idea where this lady came from, what her name is, or where she went,” a shop rep said, “but she rocked our faces off!”
THANK GOD IT’S FRIDAY!
