    Sedona Heritage MuseumSedona News – The Sedona Heritage Museum presents Michael Peach in a special performance of his original cowboy poetry and story-telling in “Greatest Hits of a Cowboy Poet!”, on Sat., August 6, at 1:30 p.m.

    Poet and historical researcher, Peach will present this special performance of his most requested poems and stories, including favorites from past shows: Little Foot Fritz (an outlaw’s carefully laid plans go awry), Captain John Hance (a tall tale from the Grand Canyon), One Time in Ten (Doc Dumas and Joe Lay miss out on a free calf), Keep a Close Watch on Your Heart (time runs out on a love triangle in Jerome), Some Days the Bear Eats You (three local cowboys try to pull a fast one on a visiting tenderfoot), Why Arizona Doesn’t Have a Seaport (the Arizona-Mexico boundary fiasco), Kissin’ Jenny (How Phoenix got to be AZ’s capital), and A Bobcat Walked into a Cottonwood Bar (self-explanatory).

    Mike began doing his living history programs at the Sedona Heritage Museum back in 2000, and over the years, Sedona audiences have grown to love his style of blending original ‘cowboy’ poetry, tall tales, and historical humor as he exposes local mythology and takes a tongue-in-cheek look at quirky incidents from the past using jokes, storytelling, and first person narrative. As is customary with Mike’s shows, this one incorporates the spirit of the Old West with selections like this:

    “When dudes come out west, the thing they like best is playing cowboy for their own entertainment. But the hard-working hands can lay their own plans to reciprocate on that arrangement. For one of the joys of some real cowboys is putting one over on dudes. Spinning tall tales, blowing wind in their sails, and adopting profane attitudes.”

    The Symbolism of Jan. 6

    By Tommy Acosta
    Don’t mess with symbols. Just ask author Dan Brown’s character Robert Landon. The worth of symbols cannot be measured. Symbols make the world-go-round. Symbols carry the weight of a thousand words and meanings. Symbols represent reality boiled down to the bone. Symbols evoke profound emotions and memories—at a very primal level of our being—often without our making rational or conscious connections. They fuel our imagination. Symbols enable us to access aspects of our existence that cannot be accessed in any other way. Symbols are used in all facets of human endeavor. One can only feel sorry for those who cannot comprehend the government’s response to the breech of the capital on January 6, with many, even pundits, claiming it was only a peaceful occupation. Regardless if one sees January 6 as a full-scale riot/insurrection or simply patriotic Americans demonstrating as is their right, the fact is the individuals involved went against a symbol, and this could not be allowed or go unpunished.
