Her father, Rick Herrmann has been studying how to play the saxophone for around seven months at this point; it shows as at the end of the video the amateur saxophonist has gathered quite a large ‘fanbase’.
By the end of the viral video Rick has successfully gathered his herd of cows. The video has been shared and viewed a million times since it was uploaded on twitter. At the end of the clip, Rick Herrmann has properly herded his seemingly awestruck bovines.
The viral video features the father performing two songs. The first is a cover of the song “Isn’t She Lovely?” by the great Stevie Wonder then followed by his rendition of “Careless Whisper” by George Michaels.
