I felt compelled to do something combining Celtic Woman's "O, America" and Norman Rockwell's rendition of what America was like when I was growing up. IMO, he captured in intimate detail what America used to be.
I did a small amount of research on Rockwell and discovered he was not that comfortable in metropolitan areas of America, such as New York City(imagine that!). His heart and his roots were in small town America, what most of us now call flyover country. Bless him.

The members of the Obama "regime" should be forced to watch this at their morning briefings....a little reminder. Thanks Joe.
This is exactly the America they are attempting to destroy. May God help us in our efforts to revive our once great nation.

Emailed the link to everyone I know. Thank you. I miss America. I wish my children and grandchildren knew the America I was privileged to have known. The Christian values represented by Rockwell’s paintings are mocked, ridiculed and attacked by those who do not share the vision of our Founding Fathers.

Bump -- this one needs more FReeper views!
Norman Rockwell reflected Americana like nobody else. Fine job, once again. I've sent the link to my addressbook, and all here should do the same.

That is lovely FGS! We all love Rockwell’s art. It was an added bonus for me. I am not able to understand ‘words’ on radio or youtubes so I don’t listen to recent music. Celtic Woman’s O, America is beautiful.

I miss America. Just reading that and saying it a time or two brings a lump to the throat of this old Texan. I hope we still have enough fight in us to be able to pass along an America to our grandkids we can be proud of.

I am not able to understand ‘words’ on radio or youtubes so I don’t listen to recent music. FWIW, I can count on one hand the number of times I've turned on a radio over the last few years. Lost interest entirely!
Celtic Woman’s O, America is beautiful.
Yes it is. Were it not for a couple of Freepers I would probably not have even been aware of this beautiful composition.
