An elderly couple walked into the lobby of the Mayo Clinic for a checkup and spotted a piano. They've been married for 62 years and he'll be 90 this year.
Check out this impromptu performance... It's all attitude. Enjoy!! Click on link below

There's something else rather significant going on here. These two can really PLAY!
They may represent the last of many generations when it was simply assumed that any semi-civilized citizen not only enjoyed music, but could perform competently on at least one instrument, and could sing well enough to participate in an amateur choral group like a church choir.
Then along came the various broadcast media and canned music, and the piano in the parlor became a piece of furniture rather than a musical instrument, and a center of participatory enjoyment for family and friends.
The electric guitar, while a completely legitimate instrument, and the garage band just haven't filled the same role in society.
