"I think it’s a travesty that the organ has been taken out of so many churches. Organs have been in churches for hundreds and hundreds of years to prepare people for worship. The repertoire of the organ, the majesty of the organ, that cannot be reproduced with these bands. If the organ is played right and interestingly and rhythmically and beautifully, it will gain young people and older people. There’s no reason to throw it out. It’s a terrible thing."
