This Dad Serenading A Herd Of Cows With His Saxophone Is Too Precious To Handle

In an interview with Buzzfeed News, he explained that, "one day I was like, 'Why not now? I’m going to get one.'"

So he did just that, and he said in those seven months, he become a pretty "OK" saxophone player. Not bad, considering he had never played one before.

And because this just might be the most random and also somehow brilliant suggestion ever, Rick agreed, and he and his family set off for a local field where they knew some cows would be lingering and may even be in need of a little sunset entertainment.

In a two-part video series posted to her Twitter, we get to watch her dad try out a few of his best-known songs on his saxophone for a group of surprisingly eager cows who were the best audience members Rick could have hoped for.

"First of all, I love cows. I spent my summers on a dairy farm," he explained. "I had a feeling they’d come up if I started to play."

Just as Rick expected, his song-stylings turn out to be enough to pique the interest of these adorable farm animals who all begin crossing the field to come towards him and his glorious saxophone.

As they get even closer to the fence, and Erin remarks, "They're coming to you!", Rick begins to play, "Careless Whisper", an audience favorite.

"'Careless Whisper' is the first song everyone learns on the saxophone," he said.

I'm not kidding. These guys look like they've been waiting their entire lives to be serenaded with a saxophone. In the videos, they're gathered as close as possible to the fence separating them and Rick, their tails flicking and eyes fixated on the man as he delivers some sweet tunes.

Even the neighbors were enjoying it, as one can be heard in the distance enthusiastically shouting out "Tequila!" at the precise moment in the song.

The videos have racked up over 10 million views, over 800,000 likes, and 250,000 retweets. Everyone in the comments are expressing just how impressive they think Rick's sax skills are, and how wholesome this entire scene really is to watch.

I don't think he would have probably cared so much as he would have been just deeply confused as to 1) why his cows were so deeply enthralled by saxophone music and 2) why a man chose to use his field as his personal saxophone stage.

Or maybe the farmer was out there enjoying the free music too. Who knows?

"I just want to make people smile," he admitted. "I just didn’t think it would be so soon, and to so many people."

Personally I'd love to see even more videos of Rick playing his sax for those cows. Maybe if he does it enough they'll start singing back to him. Or mooing back to him, I guess. Still, they could have the next big America's Got Talent performance on their hands.
