Her music is also gaining national attention for its beauty and worthiness alone.

Zola has many intensely loyal fans that have expressed devotion and admiration of her music and creativity. It has been said repeatedly of her music, “All they have to do is listen once, and they are hooked!” Her first CD, River to River Trail: The Hike, has elicited an enthusiastic response from the public, tourism officials, trail societies, the Illinois Department of Natural Resources, and the National Forest Service. The March/April 2001 issue of American Hiker contains a full-page article about Zola, the CD, and how it originated. Outdoor Illinois, a publication of the Illinois Department of Natural Resources, State of Illinois, will feature her in the August, 2001, issue.
