    logo_sedonamuseum2Sedona AZ (September 26, 2019) – The Sedona Heritage Museum presents Michael Peach in a performance of his new original show “What’s In A Name?!” on Saturday, October 5 at 1:30 p.m. Peach’s show features his unique blend of original cowboy poetry with a tongue-in-cheek look at Arizona and local history, also incorporating jokes, stories, and first person narrative.

    This new show both exposes and pokes fun at quirky Arizona places and how they got their names, among other amusing history-based stories and themes.

    Michael ‘Coyote’ Peach out discovering interesting places with wondrous names.

    “Did the Aztecs settle in the Verde Valley? Is Coconino a Spanish term meaning “Chocolate Child”? Is losing a finger enough to get a place named after you? Are Courthouse Rock and Cathedral Butte suffering from an identity crisis? Did the Yavapais make fun of the Lone Ranger? Was a local town misnamed because of bad penmanship?”, asks Peach. Expect answers to these and other Arizona naming questions as Michael “Coyote” Peach tells his stories. Oh, and by the way, rumor has it that Mike himself uses an alias!

    An award-winning actor, playwright and historian, Peach is especially good at bringing to life history and his subjects. But, he isn’t afraid to also spin some tall tales, too. Informative and entertaining, Mike’s shows have long been a favorite of university, state and national parks, and historically-oriented audiences. 

    The show is about an hour long. Tickets are $6, with children under 12 free.  Museum admission is separate. 

    The Sedona Heritage Museum is located at 735 Jordan Rd in Jordan Park in Uptown.  It is open daily from 11:00 am to 3:00 pm. The Museum’s exhibits include stories of area pioneers, movies made in Sedona, cowboy life, vintage vehicles and antique orchard and fruit processing equipment demonstrations. The red rock home and fruit packing shed along with the tractor shed are listed on the National Historic Register. For more information about this presentation or the Museum, call 928-282-7038.

    Compassionate Sedona?
    By Tommy Acosta
    Sedona is known throughout the world as a spiritual destination point where the land and those who live upon it march to the beat of a different drummer. Compassion. Love. Inclusivity and enlightenment are pillars upon which this community is sustained. Yet, something happened a few days ago that made me question if this is really true. I was at dinner at a local restaurant with a fellow community resident, whom I had always thought to be one of the most compassionate people in Sedona. Quite off-handedly my friend asked me how I felt about a city plan to provide safe parking for people who work in Sedona but have to live in their vehicles because they cannot afford the rent to live here, or even in Cottonwood. I said I thought it was a great idea and my friend’s expression went from calmness to shock. “I can’t believe you are telling me that with a straight face,” he gasped, as he dropped his fork on the table. “Do you know what you are saying.” Read more→
