Beverly drummer celebrates 100th birthday on his drums
BEVERLY - Drummer Roger Wonson celebrated his 100th birthday by playing with his band Voltage at his senior living facility on Wednesday.
The 100-year-old drummer said it was actually his brother that got him started on the drums.
"When he was 18 and I was 12, he was more interested in girls than the drums, so I said, 'Gee can I practice on the drums?' and he said 'Sure.' So that's the way it started," Wonson recalled.
Wonson, a World War II veteran, turned 100 on April 20. His secret to a long life? Don't worry about the things you can't control.
