    logo_studioliveSedona AZ (February 11, 2013) – The Zen Cowboy, Chuck Pyle, returns to Studio Live Friday, February 22nd at 7:30 pm. Tickets are $20.00 general admission, doors open at 7:00 pm, beer and wine will be available.

    Chuck Pyle has won high praise from both fans and peers alike throughout an inspired performance career of over 40 years. When reviewers first gave him the “Zen Cowboy” moniker, he decided to, as he says, “Always ride the horse in the direction it’s going, ” and took the nickname to heart, shaving his head and blending his upbeat perspective with old-fashioned horse sense. He mixes infectiously hummable melodies with straight-from-the-saddle poetry, quoting bumper stickers, proverbs, world leaders and old cowboys.

    20130211_ChuckPyle21An accomplished songwriter, Chuck’s songs have been recorded by John Denver, The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band and Suzy Bogguss. Country fans know him best for writing, “Cadillac Cowboy”, recorded by the late Chris LeDoux, and “Jaded Lover,” recorded by Jerry Jeff Walker.

    While fans love his recordings, they absolutely adore his live performance. The first time Chuck made an audience laugh, he says, he was “hooked”. A nimble guitarist, his sense of rhythm is more like a fine classical, or jazz, soloist than a songwriter and his songs are musically sophisticated yet full of uncluttered space.The Chuck Pyle Finger-Style approach to guitar has distinguished him as a true original and earned him invitations to teach at such prestigious events as The Puget Sound Guitar Workshop and The Swannanoa Gathering. His music makes him a favorite of Bill & Melinda Gates who have had him play at their home in Seattle. Since writing the theme-song for a PBS series called Spirit of Colorado, Chuck has attained local fame and has even performed for the opening session of the Colorado State Legislature.

    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.
