Back in the early 1950’s, Leon Russell started playing piano and organ by the age of 6, at his local Presbyterian Church. By the time he was 10, he left to play at the Pentecostal Church, because their music was more lively and fun. He said in an interview once, that the Presbyterian Church, found another 6 year old to take his place.

As a young woman in my 20s I had the privilege to attend a Leon Russel concert. It was a memorable event.
