Holiday Organ Concert and Sing-along

by William Jackson on 2005-12-15

I had originally planned to go to the Trail of Lights with my wardtonight, but Michael Perrone called andoffered me a ticket to John Longhurstʼs holiday organ concert. I decidedthat if I had seen the Trail of Lights once I had seen it a milliontimes, and I could very well get some friends together and walk aroundin the cold and the dark for forty-five minutes any other day thismonth. So I went to the concert, with Michael and Theresa Jordan and Mariah Campbell.

John Longhurst is a cool guy. He basically owns the organ in theTabernacle at Temple Square, Salt Lake City, Utah. Yeah, heʼs reallygood. My favorite part was when he played Angels We Have Heard on High_and everyone in the hall (except the people sitting next to us) sangalong. We also sang _Silent Night with a harp and some percussion laterin the concert.
