Rudy Atwood

==Personal life and legacy==
Atwood married Marguerite Grace Murray (1915–1983) in 1938. They made their home in [[Pasadena, California]],<ref>{{cite web|title=Rudy Atwood, Gospel Pianist|url=https://embassymedia.com/speaker/rudy-atwood|publisher=Embassy Media|access-date=January 27, 2021}}</ref> having two children. For relaxation, they enjoyed attending concerts at the [[Hollywood Bowl]] and going to Dodgers baseball games. Atwood, an avid sports fan, wrote in his autobiography, ''The Rudy Atwood Story'', of their excitement when they witnessed [[Willie Stargell]] hit the first out-of-the-park home run at [[Dodger Stadium]], a {{convert|507|foot|adj=on}} blast off the Dodgers' [[Alan Foster (baseball)|Alan Foster]] on August 5, 1969, that completely cleared the right-field pavilion and struck a bus parked outside the stadium.<ref>Atwood, pp. 64-65.</ref>

Atwood's music is still heard on rebroadcasts of the ''Old Fashioned Revival Hour'', aired on the [[Fundamental Broadcasting Network]] and streamed on the internet, and during music programming segments on the [[Bible Broadcasting Network]] (BBN) (although Atwood is no longer mentioned by name on BBN, since the network instituted a policy of not making artist attributions). Several of his recordings have been re-mastered on [[compact disc]], such as ''Our Great Savior with Rudy Atwood''.<ref>{{cite web|title=Old Fashioned Revival Hour|url=https://www.ofrh.com/|location=Pasadena, CA|access-date=February 3, 2021}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|title=Our Great Savior with Rudy Atwood|url=https://www.ofrh.com/product-page/our-great-savior-with-rudy-atwood-on-piano|publisher=Old Fashioned Revival Hour|location=Pasadena, CA|access-date=February 3, 2021}}</ref> As to his preference for traditional hymns over [[contemporary Christian music]], Atwood wrote: "I must play what I feel is my ministry to play. God blesses hearts, wherever He finds them, with whatever means He has at hand".<ref>Atwood, p. 99.</ref>
