A Musical Presentation
Based on the original poetry and melodies by Lorena Horner Normandeau
To explain how this project got started it is necessary to reflect back to the Christmas Stranger Production in 1993 at the Broadway Family Theater in down town Salt Lake City. Staring the Steve and Claudia Goodman Family. They invited two of their friends to see the play Gracia N. Jones and her mother Lorena Horner Normandeau. Lorena was a composer and a direct descendent of Joseph Smith Jr. the first Prophet of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. After attending a performance they approached Dan and Bonnie Whitley to see if they were interested in doing something with her music. Before the week was out, they gave Dan a box of music and lyrics, written by hand, and on scraps of paper. A cassette tape of her playing some of the songs was also included. Dan look them over and they agreed to let him start on 4 of the songs.
