On Conversation Piece today…Meet my guests: Angie Wilson, the president of the Council of Black Nurses Los Angeles Chapter, and Gwen Woods, who will share why she is a fierce bone marrow advocate and community activist with a personal story about her grandson, Eric Alexander.  Did you know that Black patients are less likely to find a bone marrow match due to low representation on the bone marrow registry?  July is designated as African American Bone Marrow Month, and my guests say don’t wait until July for a simple cheek swab to save a life.

But first we have a Sister Charlene Muhammad with a news report.

Welcome to Conversation Piece!

So who is How Granny Got Her Groove Back?

Just one “little old lady” playfully experimenting with a DAW.

A few months before my 60th birthday, I discovered that creativity has no expiration date when—with no prior experience creating music or using DAWs—I embarked on an exploratory digital music journey using GarageBand.

Little did I know that this entertaining quest would translate into a new roadmap for my life!

What began as simple curiosity quickly evolved into deep exploration of sonic landscapes through loops, samples, and layered sound design. 

My long-dormant creative fires were reignited…

How Granny Got Her Groove Back emerged as my artist name the moment i began sharing music with friends and family—a playful nod to reinvention and resilience, inspired by the film How Stella Got Her Groove Back.

Granny Grooves is the sound of that journey — lush, loop-based tracks that blend classical roots with modern digital expression.

Music has been my lifelong companion—a source of both inspiration and refuge—from school band and choir, to my decade as a dancer and years of playing piano, rhythm and melody have been essential to how I breathe and move in the world.

Now, blending my classical musical foundation with the tools of modern digital production, I embrace experimentation across diverse styles.

Each track is a new adventure, a balance of nostalgia and innovation grounded in life experience, yet always open to playful surprise—a testament to how artistry can deepen, evolve, and bloom at any stage of life.

A place for leaders and members of the community to have a voice in the real day to day issues & celebrations of urban living locally and worldwide, and brings awareness to the point of action & cataclysmic change.  Yes, storytelling changes & saves lives!
