About me:
Happy in my middle-age... with A LIFE I love, A MAN my Mother would have been proud of and A BELOVED CHILD named DESTINY CHEYENNE whom I absolutely adore! My name is RICKY PILCHER (aka PREL "the Dove" LATOURETTE)... welcome to my space!
Joe, Cheyenne and I love spending time at home... reading books, watching television, listening to music, fixing things, digging in the dirt, playing in the creek, kayaking and swimming around Lake Lanier, hiking in the forest and loving and appreciating life in all its forms and facets!

As for...
Prel "The Dove" Latourette
Since 1991, I have performed songs of Stevie Nicks as "The Dove" ~ Prel Latourette. Either with Atlanta's "The BLUE LAMP Tour: Stevie Nicks/Fleetwood Mac Fest" or New York City's legendary "Night of a Thousand Stevies" or on my own... I am always honored and thrilled to lend my voice and to bring my spin on the music, the fashion and the artistry of Rock and Roll's reigning Queen and High Priestess to fans from all walks of life.
On this journey, I have met some truly wonderful friends and, this too, is something I would not trade for anything... not for jade or for diamonds... not for one minute, not for anything!
*I have never wished be famous or to earn my living as a singer or a performer... However, for the occasional charity event (especially those benefiting children, animals/wildlife), I am always honored to participate.
As well... I am always thrilled and honored to participate in those above mentioned legendary events ("The BLUE LAMP Tour: Stevie Nicks/Fleetwood Mac Fest" and "Night of a Thousand Stevies")
They are all I need in that respect. Otherwise, my life and my love are here and I am very happy with all of it.
