91 Years Of Rockin

I had never heard of Allee Willis before today, but I bet many people with soon become acquainted with Allee and the name Jerry Thill too. I guess Allee Willis is well known in songwriting and producing circles. Willis had put together a tribute video of a lady named Jerry Thill. This video is so awesome, you have to check it out. Jerry is 91 years old has been making music in one form or another for many years now. She can still knock out a beat on the drums like few people I have ever seen of any age.

The video itself is really a cute little production. I love how the old pictures of Jerry kind of wiggle with the beat like they are dancing. I miss my grandma a lot and when I see an older lady like this that is so full of life it makes me think of her. I hope she is surrounded by people that appreciate how cool she is. I have always wanted to learn how to play an instrument. I think it helps keep people's minds young and strong and this clip confirms my theory. I can only hope that if I even make it to this age, that I am as active and awesome!

If you want to feel good, hear a catchy tune, and check out a cool little video...watch the clip embedded here.
