My Heart Has Always Been in ARIZONA

The beauty of ARIZONA holds some of the most majestic glory of the USA. Ted and I toured and lived in AZ back in the mid-70s on our way out to Los Angeles. Those were fun, hard working times. I live in beautiful Prescott and I'm just an hour from the red rocks of Sedona. It's so gorgeous up here in the mountains and the summers are not nearly as hot as Phoenix or Tucson, so I love it.

We've always loved the beauty of ARIZONA... it's such a majestic state, full of nature and serenity.

My Heart Has Always Been in ARIZONA

My heart has always been in ARIZONA
From Flagstaff down to Tombstone’s western skies
From the Prescott Dells to the red rocks of Sedona
Where the magic’s always setting in her eyes

Somewhere out there’s a place
Where we’ll go to find some peace and harmony
Somewhere out there’s a place
To be Carefree

My heart has always been in ARIZONA
From Grand Canyon to the highest snow capped trees
The way you paint your mountains every sunset
To hear that Tucson thunder through the breeze

Somewhere out there’s a place
Where we’ll go to find some peace and harmony
Somewhere out there’s a place
To be Carefree

With the spirit of the eagle
Soaring high ‘bove native land
We honor generations, on their shoulders we all stand
I can smell the desert rain
Heaven’s right here in my hand

Somewhere out there’s a place
Where we’ll go to find some peace and harmony
Somewhere out there’s a place
To be Carefree

My heart has always been in ARIZONA...
My heart has always been in ARIZONA...
My heart has always been in ARIZONA...

Behind the Music

Have always loved the beauty of the red rocks and landscapes across ARIZONA. The video is a collection of footage I shot across the state as well as a few still from some other talented photographers such as Steve Lummer and Bob Cusick.

Behind the Video

I remember filming around Sedona... the clouds were glorious against the red rocks. It was hard to take a bad shot that day. I really enjoyed it and the trip up to the creek as well.
