A Hometown Christmas with Cori Connors

There’s nothing like a hometown Christmas — a Christmas when you
were together with family, when the high school choir set the
mood for the season with their concerts, and when you saw and
waved to your neighbors as they scurried among the downtown shops
seeking treasures for their loved ones.
A hometown Christmas is a bit harder to find these days — strip
malls and canned holiday music which starts around Halloween have
seen to that, but they still do happen.  In this case we’ll
listen in on a few numbers from a hometown Christmas concert by
Utah singer-songwriter Cori Connors, herself one of just two
recipients of this year’s Governor’s Mansion Artist Awards for
artistic contributions to the state and her community. 
We’ll hear a Christmas story or two, a tribute to a real-life
hometown hero, a song about the reason for the season, and
finally, a sing-along “Silent Night” with all the people crammed
into the Farmington Arts Center to celebrate the season.  I
hope you’ll sing along.
Here’s to a hometown Christmas — that's this week on The Cricket
and Seagull!
