Vermillion Mayor Bill Radigan said "It's nice that you came back to Vermillion after such success," Radigan said. "By doing so well, you are an inspiration for young people and a role model for them." Colvin said her sense of prairie upbringing returned while traveling through North Dakota. "The rest of the (group in the) van felt like it was in the middle of nowhere, but I felt like I belong here (on the Plains)," she said. "It's pretty bizarre because it's been over 25 years," she said. "I have such very vivid memories from long ago. But it's a tough bridge to distance, from when I was 12 years old to now." "So many things aren't here anymore." she said. Growing up in a small town was both "a blessing and a curse," she said. On the one hand, small towns often do not often foster artistic expression, she said. However, she said Vermillion drew out her imagination. Colvin encouraged youngsters to follow their artistic instincts. Small-town talent can accomplish great things, she said. "This may not be the biggest hotbed, but don't let it daunt you." "I hope I'm an inspiration. I made it through a lot of tough times. I'm one of those basic survivor types, and I'm proud of that." Shawn has just released her newest album, "Holiday Songs and Lullabies" and will appear on the Jay Leno Show on Dec. 14 on NBC. - --------------------------- http://www.shawncolvin.com - --------------------------- - -john == ............................. . .
