Judy Coble stepped outside her Manheim Township home on Saturday afternoon expecting to go on a walk with her daughter.
Instead, the 78-year-old mother and grandmother was met with a 15-minute musical serenade that included songs such as âAmazing Grace.â
âShe was completely clueless, which was great,â said Cobleâs daughter Vicki Saunders, 56, who helped organize the Mother s Day gift with the help of Music for Everyone as part of their âMusic for Momsâ event on Saturday.
The series of truncated, socially distant front porch concerts â the first-ever of its kind offered by Music for Everyone â was a success, said musical duo Lisa Fairman, 57, and Dave Lefever, 57, who performed outside Coble s home.

PEACH BOTTOM, Pa. The Central Pennsylvania New Year’s tradition of pork and sauerkraut dinners will become one of the first seasonal rituals upended by the pandemic in 2021.
According to Pennsylvania Dutch tradition, pork and sauerkraut is believed to bring good luck for the new year.
Pork is eaten because pigs root forward, the direction of progress. Chicken is specifically not eaten, as chickens scratch backward.
