Grandpa Hicks plays Flight of the Bumblebee on marimba on 96th birthday

Every year on December 23rd, all the Hicks get together to celebrate Grandpa Hicks' birthday. He's been a musician all his life and loves to perform. He still plays at rest homes several times a month, loads and unloads his marimba or vibraphone into his truck all by himself, and brings joy into many people's lives. He's left a fantastic legacy for his posterity.

Here, on his 96th birthday, he performs Flight of the Bumblebee on his marimba. My jaw was on the floor.
