| "I'm regaining my feel for playing the piano!"
says Willie (right), who is now teaching
residents like Virgie Wilson how to play. |
Willie Taylor spent more than half her life playing and teaching piano. As the musician at Friendship Baptist Church, Willie set the tune for the glorious gospel music sung by parishioners. Illness ended that gig, and Willie thought she was done playing. Then she met a group of others passionate about singing and gospel music at Victory Centre of South Chicago, and Willie got her groove back!
