Welcome back to The Late Bloomer Syllabus. I am Harold Nkemelu, and today's guest makes me feel like a slow starter. Margaret Oyelaran worked as a midwife in Ibadan for 40 years. She has delivered more babies than she can count. And at 61, retired, she walked into a music shop and asked about piano lessons. Last year she passed her grade one exam. We talk about the stiff fingers, the teacher who refused to patronise her, and the small matter of her six-year-old grandson learning the same piece at the same time and being rather competitive about it. Margaret is funny and very direct, and she has a clear answer for anyone who says it is too late. Stay for the next small step at the end. You are listening on Witspeak Podcasts.
