About Kristin Lish
Kristin Lish (1947–2019) was a Utah-born pianist and music educator whose gift emerged early: by age five, she was playing piano by ear. Raised in Milford and Bountiful, she later studied music composition and education at the University of Alberta. Remembered for her improvisational talent, warmth, and generosity, Kristin shared music through a lifetime of performing and teaching.

Story & notes
I met Kristin Lish in the early oughts. She had a small ad in the local commie (er…community) rag way at the back, I think it was 3 lines. “Sex Therapist available for consultation” or something like that. Kristin was using her superpowers (not kidding) to help people past sex hangups, and couples to explore their sexual relations. I had a new, and hot girlfriend at the time (We are still married) our sex was GREAT, but somehow I made the call and left a message on Kristins answering machine. Yes, kids, back in the day we had these machines…
We became close friends with Kristin and have many memories. Kristin was an amazing person and a gifted musician. She could improve like no one.
One winter day in 2008, in January Kristin came over to the Radishman Studio and she sat behind her massive Roland X8 and created three pieces. They were never named so the files were just sequence numbers. I found these on a hard drive and am glad to present them here. God bless you Kristin, I know you are cruising on a high plane. We still love you!!
