98-year-old granny blows audience away with piano performance

During a recent appearance at the Grand Ole Opry, Nashiville, country music artist Josh Turner took a moment to give the stage to someone else.

His wife’s 98-year-old grandmother, Lois Cunningham, was ready to take the spotlight. As she is helped into the chair of the piano, her grandson in law tells the audience “she’ll play when she is read”. Without a beat, she is.

The nonagenarian performs “How Great Thou Art" on the piano and it's safe to say her talent blows the crowd away. Performing at the Nashville venue is a major accomplishment for any country star, and Turner's kind gift to his loved one shows that you're never too old to achieve your dreams. 

Be sure to watch till the end, Lois gets a standing ovation and she loves the crowd as much as they love her.
