(Miller, MO) -- In elementary school, many children will discover their musical talents. Some will pick up instruments, and they'll keep playing well into adulthood.

Over in Miller, Missouri, we recently met a performer who realized her untapped musical talents much later in life. See what you think about her mandolin music in tonight's Oliver's Ozarks report.

From their music room in their home in Miller, Missouri, Don and Jane Grubaugh offer sounds of the Ozarks.

In fact the Grubaugh's are part of a larger group called the 'Jam Seekers'. It includes several instrumentalists that play nursing homes and senior centers around the region.

"We're all just retired. We never practice." says Jane Grubaugh.

To hear Jane on the mandolin, you might think she's been playing for years. But, in fact, the 75-year-old Ozarks native only strummed her first chord 10 years ago.

"I just went to playing around with it and found I could pick things by ear. I did buy a book. And I just couldn't learn anything from it." says Grubaugh.

So, Jane taught herself to play. Now she can't imagine her life without the mandolin. She was encouraged to learn when her age forced her to stop riding horses and after several trips to south Texas, where other retirees would play music to pass the time.

"I had to find something to do. So when we got home I decided, I have been a little musical and I thought if he could learn to play it, I could learn to play it. So I decided to play the mandolin." says Grubaugh.

Jane says she really enjoys playing the nursing home shows for area seniors. She loves seeing the smiles on their faces when they hear the old time Ozarks music and the look in their eyes when she makes their acquaintance.

"When I get through, I hug everyone. And this one lady said to me, you're the only person that ever hugs me. That was worth the whole show." says Grubaugh.

Jane has produced two CD's of her mandolin music and she's working on her third.
