Diane Bish "On The Bench with Dr. Carol"

[@elainebmack]

A great interview! Diane Bish is a legend, a truly great lady.

[@disvillage]

Diane Bish radiates the heart of God the Living Father of our Savior Jesus Christ. She has been a very highly professional communicator of Christ and of Music. I remember her from way back in music conservatory (1980-84). Also the late Carlo Curly. God bless and reward your days on earth, and very soon we’ll be with Yeshua at the Wedding Supper.

Not only do I have even more respect for Diane Bish after watching this, but also for Dr. Carol. This interview demonstrates great commitement and inspiration

[@chidlers99]

very nice lady - great interview!

[@wphubert]

Marvelous interview that really brought out Diane’s personality in so many ways. Thanks to Carol for your efforts to create this series.

[@jaredcroal804]

I've been waiting for Dr. Carol to interview Diane Bish for a long time now. Ms. Bish is such an inspiration in so many ways to me and countless other organists young and old. I've learned to play by watching her program, and she is the reason that I am an organist today. It was great to hear a personal interview with her. Thanks Dr. Carol!

[@musikalitet]

Sorry, but "watching her program"... what does that mean?

[@jaredcroal804]

musikalitet I learned to play by watching her play in her Television show The Joy of Music.

[@musikalitet]

OK. It must have been very inspiring for you.I would like to see that televison show too. But it has not crossed my way,

[@musikalitet]

well ..... now I see it is on youtube. nice. and thank you for inspiration.

[@musikalitet]

After my taste some organmusic can be too easy going .

[@JE58-rbi]

Excellent interview, Dr. Williams! Thank you to Diane Bish for sharing experiences of her God inspired talent with Dr. Carol Williams.

[@johngirvin870]

Wonderful and down to earth conversation between two remarkable women. I’ve always been impressed by the virtual boatload of music that Diane Bish has been able to bring to performance level, and then video. Her mission to bring music to everyone is beautifully explained in this lovely interview. Just finished preparing three of her hymn preludes for the next few Sundays and her joyous arrangements are enjoyed by all; no pretentious music, rather, extremely effective settings. Thanks to Dr. Carol for being such an evangelist (and such an obvious good colleague) for the organ and organ music. We could use many more of these giving musicians.

[@johnferguson8993]

A wonderful and inspiring interview. Thank you for posting.

[@taylorharvey9669]

Loved...loved...L O V E D this interview with Ms. Bish!!!....I have a renewed appreciation for this amazing lady....(in fact ....I believe I've fallen in love with her!!!)....BOTH of you dear souls are such fine organists (Dr. Williams and Ms. Bish)...Thanks, so much, for this fine interview....and best wishes in the city of seven hills (Lynchburg)....God bless!!

[@louislark9983]

A phenomenal informative interview. Dianne Bish is my favorite organist because she connotes musical passion, technique, elegance, and spirituality. I seen her in person in Philadelphia at an organ concert. She was stupendous, and an intriguing organ entertainer. May God continue to opulently favour Ms. Dianne Bish!

[@leonbdn]

Thank you so much for this incredible interview. I have enjoy Dr Carol and Diane Bish for a long time. To have them both in this program is absolutely AWESOME!!

[@eduardofernandes6616]

Ohhh Dr. Carol thank you so much for bringing Diane to this interview, she is so amazing and inspiring I am a really a big fan of her, her career all her inspiring deeds for the organ and the music. She told that she was inspired by the organ of the Mormon tabernacle, I'm a Mormon and I have never seen her performing on that organ, it would be such an honor to see her performing there.

[@scottdunavent]

So wonderful! Thank you so much Dr. Williams for interviewing Diane Bish. Ms. Bish has enriched my life for many, many years. I am thrilled that I had the opportunity to watch your interview. Thank you Ms. Bish for your wonderful, beautiful performances these many years. To God be the Glory!

[@kgs202]

A wonderful interview with the First Lady of the Organ.... thank you!

[@sashineb.2114]

Thank you, Dr. Williams, for this very interesting interview with Diane Bish. I've appreciated her music since the early 1970s and I watched her show every week, when it was available on my cable network. I'm so glad that I was able to view this episode. Thanks again.

[@duronimos]

To God be all the glory. Music is a gift of God and all have to do is furnish the gift. Belarly Diane has done just that. Thanks Dianne thanks Carol. Two wonderful ladies.

[@BizarreSuzanne]

Love the comments...they resonated with my own experience, though I never wanted to be a concert organist, I LOVE the Music. I preferred to sing harmony...though I can still play, even at my advanced age. The comments about Amsterdam, oh yes, was there for two weeks (via the military route) and managed to take in the sights (and the organs). I do like a lot of what has been synthesized (the Moog Synthesizer) all of the familiar tunes, though still love the organ! LOVE the "Joy of Music"...and what you have done! Love and enjoy Dr. Carol too! And of course, with "Midnigjht Pipes", and the Great Virgil Fox; you four are my favorites! i have saved a lot of all of your music in a set of files on my hard drive to listen to...when noting else will do! I was raisied as a "believer" but no longer find that to be my own situation...but the music still resonates with my inner being (Grab them young and their hearts will follow!).

[@earlwgreen]

I too love the interviews. I love the fact you allow the organists to take time to reply before rushing to the next question. Thank you so much for all you are doing. It is simply wonderful!

[@mattbod]

Love your videos Carol!!! I always love Diane's videos too coming from all over the world.

[@websurfin9575]

Diane Bish truly IS.... 1st lady of the organ!

[@marioribeirodeazevedoneto311]

Fiquei muito feliz por saber que uma das melhores e mais famosas organistas do mundo, Diane Bish, está ótima de saúde e em plena forma. Curto todos os concertos da Diane e peço a Deus que a conserve por muitos anos trazendo alegria e cultura musical a todos. Parabéns Diane e a organista Carol pela entrevista. Sou brasileiro e infelizmente não sei escrever em inglês. Me desculpe, obrigado!

[@MrSimon6356]

Two lovely very talented ladies. Long may they entertain us.

[@mortonbelcher]

Thank you, Dr. Carol, for arranging this interview with Diane Bish. I understand that you will be spending some time in the Greenville, N. C. area... I am sure you will enjoy your stay there, no matter how long it may be...

[@georgieleejrs8299]

[@joer3481]

[@garfixit]

[@silviarovere4879]

Gary, listen to me, It's not Diane Bush, but Diane Bish, you have written uncorrectly.

[@christopherjames8697]

Two Wonderful Organists...Keep it up guys..

[@curtmechanic7100]

Been waiting on this for a while!

[@kennethdegruchy5503]

Does anyone know if there was any family relationship between Ms Bish and Harold Camping. I used to watch the Joy Of Music on a rather new digital tv channel in the early 1980's on the Family Radio TV station (perhaps ch 66 in northern NJ). The Joy of Music was broadcast multiple times per day along with Harold Camping Bible studies and older Christian TV morality shows. I thought that Camping and Bish kind of looked similar and I became curious if there was a family relationship that perhaps explained why Camping chose to air her shows so often.

[@patrickrichmond9896]

Dr. Carol Williams, Diane has written a piece called "Dance of the Trumpets" and I think it's in D Major. I would love to see a tutorial video on that piece. I had to sub so I can get more organ music.

[@aldermanenterpriseinc]

I'm so glad she got a sit down with Diane Bish. Incredible artist. I wish she could get Marsha Long. Dorthy Parpadocis formally of Saint John The Divine.

[@Huwtube72]

Very interesting as usual. David Goode would also be good to see on your interview couch, as well as Simon Preston.

[@larikipe940]

My darling, I just LOVE you!

[@souio]

Have you ever considered trying to have Barbara Dennerlein on the show? I think that it would be great to hear the different perspectives of two different players from two completely different genres talking organ!

[@marioribeirodeazevedoneto311]

Diane e Carol, how are you? Pleace! I love every body!

[@aurtherkimmons6778]

she should sit on the bench with Dame Gillian Weir

[@marioribeirodeazevedoneto311]

Alô organista Carol!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@rogerfelez7478]

I'd like to see Daniel Roth "On The Bench with Dr. Carol" talking about the pipe organ at St. Sulpice. Mr Roth knows everything about the organ, I had the pleasure of contacting him via emal asking about the Chamade stops at St. Sulpice and Daniel explained me that the St. Sulpice organ doesn't have chamade trumpets, Cavaillé Coll installed an 8' hooded trumpet (Trompette Harmonique).

[@Monochr0meMan]

Carol, is there any chance of you doing an 'on the bench' interview with Daniel Roth?

[@julienboutique8675]

The anecdote of Bach and Buxtehude's daughter supposedly happened in Lübeck, not in Hamburg.

[@trimatch-king6103]

I ask you permission to say something far distant to the subject of the video ( Wonderful video). This is the first time that I saw Dr. Carol but I already knew his face and , voice, and even the way she laughs. This was so strange that I had to say. thanks.

[@davidlavergne8655]

What's the intro piece that plays around 25 seconds in?

[@themusician2377]

David LaVergne "Venus Toccata"

[@karlosor]

What happened to her voice

[@NinoNiemanThe1st]

Diane Bish is incredible, but why does this interviewer look like she's gonna catch COVID-19 and die from being near to her, 3 years before it even appeared?

[@gospmusluver]

She looks like Mr. Rogers with a wig

[@richardhughes5411]

Guc1001 such a beautiful woman!

[@aslscott78]

U r a very creepy person lol
