My first thought on waking was that Lozano is similar to lozenge and may tie in with "The lozenge is the servant of God." My second thought was that Lozano is the name of a gangster-turned-Mormon-missionary in the 2005 Richard Dutcher film God's Army 2: States of Grace. I've never seen it, but I remember the trailer, which emphasizes the name Lozano and has a scene where Lozano takes of his shirt and reveals a big tattoo of his name across his upper back.
Lozano is a servant of God in that film -- a member of "God's army" -- so that's consistent with the lozenge connection. I looked up the name and found that it can be Spanish or Italian. As Spanish, it can mean "luxuriant, vigorous, healthy" or can be "a nickname for an elegant or haughty person." As Italian, though, it refers to the city of Locarno, Switzerland. I looked up that city, and the first thing I found was:
Locarno is an Italian-speaking resort city in southern Switzerland, on Lake Maggiore at the base of the Alps.
A pretty direct hit for "foothills of the Alps."
The idea that a question should have been addressed to foothills, as if the hills were sentient beings that could answer questions, made me think of the line "the hills are alive" from The Sound of Music -- another film I've never seen, but one Debbie has been bringing up in comments recently. Looking it up, I found it is set in Salzburg, Austria. That city's Wikipedia entry begins thus:
Salzburg is the fourth-largest city in Austria. In 2020 its population was 156,852. The city lies on the Salzach River, near the border with Germany and at the foot of the Alps mountains.
That's an even more direct hit for "foothills of the Alps," as it even uses the word foot.
When I was looking for the trailer with Lozano, I had forgotten it was God's Army 2, so I first watched a trailer for the original God's Army. It includes this little exchange:
"You know we're missionaries, right?""Sure.""So you know what we do.""Yeah, you're kinda like nuns, but you're men?"
Debbie's recent comments about The Sound of Music have emphasized the fact that the main character is a nun.
If it is to hills that are alive with the sound of music that my question should have been addressed, that suggests the "mental jukebox" method of divination. If only I could remember what the question was!

I know you won't want to hear this, but I did find it interesting that I just left a comment about Abinadi and King Noah, and the Isaiah discourse on your other dream post. The Isaiah quote that kicks off Abinadi's discourse is the reference to feet on mountains: "How beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of him that bringeth good tidings".
We have this mention of Mountains and Feet, and so that was already on my mind when I then saw this new post and a mention of "Foothills". That would be a pretty direct play on words for a Foot on a Hill, or Feet on Mountains. I went and confirmed on Etymonline that the definition of Hill originally also included Mountains.
That play on words may be why these foothills were personified, or the question should be addressed to them, or a specific foothill, since Abinadi used the imagery to refer to prophets and their published works. Or not. Just thinking.
William,
And speaking of the icemen...
Guess who else was in the alps in 1965?
The Beatles - Ticket To Ride | Help! (1965)

Why wouldn't I want to hear that? It seems like a good interpretation to me, and I can't see anything in it that would be offensive or unwelcome.
I just looked up the etymology of "Alps," which is uncertain, but one proposal is that it may be related to a Greek word meaning "white flour." Interesting in connection with all the Flour Boy stuff.
William,
Also note in the Ticket to Ride video,
the Beatles are all wearing black,
and George ( the Dark Horse) a Top Hat.

Check out my recent comment on your Rub-a-dub-
post about the Magician Tarot Card in both Rider-Waite
and Oswald Wirth's deck of cards
and your Aries/Mars illustration on your viper post.
In my comment I make reference to the
Hermetic principle of the Magician's hand gesture;
As above, so below.
Well lo and behold, guess who
makes that same gesture in the alps
on the album cover of Help!
