On a Saturday excursion through central Texas hill country, Gene and I stopped alongside the road outside Marble Falls to see the view of the hills and the Colorado River. It was just a roadside stop with picnic tables and there was a monument for Oscar J. Fox who composed a song "The Hills of Home". A LaQuinta has been built blocking much of the view (nothing like progress). However, one could see what inspired this songwriter to write this soulful ballad.
Our country is rich with talented artists. I'm challenging you, my friends in Active Rain, to hit the road or look around your surroundings and find people or their works that have enriched our lives. It's enough that all we hear on a daily basis is wave after wave of news reporting one crisis after another.
Let's start a new trend!
