In the early 1970s Bob Ralston (the organist) was made a weekly visit to my home to teach me and my mom the organ. We had a Wurlitzer with 4 keyboards. That was the first instrument I ever learned to play.

He was very nice and it took awhile before I realized that he was the same guy who played on TV every week. My mom never talked about the show with him and I can't recall that he ever brought it up himself. I don't think I knew ehe was famous until we went to see him give a concert at a local piano/organ store. There were over 1000 people in the audience.

Remember that one of the cdances - Bobby - was one of the original Mousketeers. Talk about being a part of white bread America.
