Grammy-award winning singer-songwriter and classical keyboardist Toni Tennille could probably live anywhere she wants. She has lived throughout the United States, in cities big and small, from coast to coast, in the scenic Sierra Nevadas and in lush, semi-tropical and sun-kissed Florida. But, Prescott is where she chooses to call home. She has done that twice, in fact, once in 2007 and again in 2017. The chart-topping vocalist with a contralto vocal range that spans two and a half octaves … [Read more...] about Singer Toni Tennille Wants More Musically, for Herself and Prescott

I remember him telling me about his life, about how his father passed away when he was 12 years old, and how Carl had to leave school to go to work to help support his mother and six brothers and sisters. He regretted that he was never able to go back to school to … [Read more...] about Healing Through Words, Touch, Action
