MUSIC - Has Kept Them Together !

It was in the summer of 1971, while performing in a musical she wrote, "Mother Earth", in San Francisco, that Toni met husband-to-be Daryl Dragon, who auditioned for her as a keyboardist. One look, a quick listen and she hired him on the spot. Dragon reciprocated by hiring Toni to play keyboards for the next Beach Boys tour. She was, and has remained, the one and only "BEACH GIRL". Music lovers also recognize Toni’s voice on Pink Floyd’s, "The Wall" and Elton John’s, "Don’t Let the Sun Go Down on Me"
