 Hills Snyder, 55, writer of the ballad Song 44 and a piece about artist Alejandro Cesarco titled Page 33, is known to have used a .22 in his 1970 serigraph, Art Shooter. He's been thinking about this kind of stuff since he was 11. It is widely believed that he was born in Lubbock, Texas though some say it was on a mountaintop in Tennessee. He has lived in a string of small towns throughout his life including Miles City, Montana, Oskaloosa, Kansas and Helotes, Texas.
