"Inn Granola to Your Door Contest" Final Clue #4!!


It is time for our final clue for the room name changes at beautiful Inn at Long Lake. Hope you have kept your list by your PC as I will be deleting all other clues soon (Clues #1-#3). Good luck!!

When deciding upon the room name changes for the inn, the Freeport Room almost became The Fairbanks Room (after actor Douglas Fairbanks Sr.). At the twelth hour, though, I selected a man whose music has affected the hearts of Americans for decades. In short, his works sing with hope, American spirit, and tender melodies--many based on traditional American songs. His room at the inn will be true Americana decor, decked in shades of American blue, country red, and pristine white. Here are some clues to his identity:

1. Guests staying in his room will get great views of Long Lake--as well as views of our town.
2. You don't have to live in the simple parts of West Virginia to enjoy this man's composition like the ballet dancers above! And, for the record, you will enjoy it in Summer, Fall, and Winter also. You might have watched the President Obama Inaugeration when the American song on which this composition was based was played by Perlman, Yo-Yo Ma, et al.
3. Beef eaters celebrate...the new beef campaign commercials feature this man's music. When I hear it I want to lasso a bull, join the rodeo, and eat a hamburger--dang! Where's my cowboy hat??!!
4. Whether you are a common man, a buckaroo on holiday, or need a quiet city--this composer's work will always touch you.

Four correct answers will receive a yummy bag of Inn at Long Lake granola to your door.
Again, the rules: 1 bag of granola per household please. You must live in the continental United States. Answers with your name, address, and contact telephone may be submitted between April 8-15, 2009 only. Including why you come to read the blog will help in future postings.;-)

Send your entry to YankeeInnChef@aol.com please and look other choices I have selected for the inn guest rooms on April 28, 2009. Thanks for playing!!
