Viola Smith, now 106 years old, played at US President Harry Truman’s inauguration, and in the original production of Cabaret on Broadway. She credits her longevity to the full-body workout of drumming, and the occasional glass of wine 🙂 Musicians rejoice! Legendary percussionist Viola Smith might have discovered the secret for a happy, long and healthy life: energetic drumming as well as the moderate consumption of good wine.
