All I can say about Diane Bish is that she is the greatest ambassador for the 
organ, that we have ever seen. People that have no idea of what is involved 
with organs or organ playing have been educated as to what all is involved. 
("You use your feet, too?")
After college, I had not played any instrument in over 3 years. One lonely 
night in 
Dallas, in 1983, I saw she was dedicating the new pipe organ at the First 
Baptist Church. I thought, what the heck, and went to see this woman. In 2 
hours, she totally transformed me back into what has been a 20 year ongoing 
re-education about the organ, and playing for a congregation again. Her 
recitals are well attended, and I just look at all of the people and know 
they now see what actually is involved with playing an organ. Don't we all 
wish we had her energy and skill at putting the organ back where it belongs? 
She has certainly contributed to keeping us all from being extinct for 
several more years to come.

Keep her in all of our prayers.
