- Summary:
- VIOLA SMITH was the first female big-band drummer ever! In WWII she played with the Andrews Sisters and lived to the ripe age of 107! All her long life Viola advocated for women players, "Give a Female Musician a Break!" and kept thwacking her drums. She credits her longevity to the athleticism of drumming. Drummer Lisa Marie Maestas dances a double tap and explains Viola Smith and her unique playing style and wondrous life. Give a listen-- this one's a blast.
