80-Y-O Plays Guitar and Shows He Can Still Rock the House!
Rock'n'roll isn't just for young people, as one 80-year-old man showed a surprised music store employee. Folks from the "good old days" can still string a tune.
Bob Wood, an octogenarian who has been playing guitar probably since the days of Elvis Presley, decided to put down some beats last October.
Picking up a guitar in the British Audio Service store in Nashville, Tennessee, Wood showed that he can still rock the house, much to the surprise of onlookers.
British Audio posted video of the 80-year-old rocker on its Facebook page in October of last year. As of today it has collected over 2.5 million views, more than 18,000 likes and over 60,000 shares.
The video has also garnered much attention on YouTube, as British Audio uploaded it later that month to the site. As of Wednesday it has received over 800,000 views and 2,100 likes.
And while the original video is over a year old, other YouTube accounts have been uploading the guitar-playing spectacle up to the present day.
Want to see how a senior citizen rocks out? Want to hear a man who knows how to pluck some strings? Then this is the video for you.
