73-Year-Old Grandma Picks Up Guitar, Surprises Everyone

Play It Again, Grams

I hope that when I get married, my future mother-in-law is this cool! This 73-year-old grandmother isn’t your average cookie baking, babysitting kind of grandma; no, she’s the kind of grandma that’ll pick up your guitar and embarrass you in front of your friends while you’re trying to show off! Filmed by her son-in-law, she’s hanging out in what looks like either his studio or a guitar shop and casually fingerpicking her way through her rendition of ‘Lay Down Sally’. She’s so incredible, it makes you wonder if in another life before children and grandchildren and husbands and mortgages, she once had dreams of being a rockstar.

Fact: Playing an instrument is good for you! Whether it’s improving heart health and lowering your stress level, or just helping you express your creativity, music is shown to have all kinds of amazing health benefits.

Whatever the case may be, one thing is clear: this woman is living proof of science’s theory that music is good for you at all ages! Her children and grandchildren are incredibly lucky to have someone who is such a fantastic musician and stuck with it throughout her life!
