Uncle Vern, what a life!!!
I took piano lessons from 7-17, and organ lessons in my 20's I've been singing and playing piano and organ in Church, in one capacity or another for 25 years, since I was in high school.
Currently an organist/Director of Pastoral Music at a Church here in New...
That was a great ball.
I became aware of the World Cup in 1982, remember watching the final on NBC and hearing all about Paolo Rossi. I remembered Harald "Toni" Schumacher, Beckenbauer (retired by then) and Karl-Heinz Rumminegge from an old PBS show called Soccer Made in Germany in the 1970s...
