SedonaEye.com contributing writer, Hollywood Jim, and fan Sedona is a place where many come to visit and soon appreciate how lucky others are to live here. Of importance to those of us who passed through and returned to make Sedona our home is that we heard and answered Sedona’s “call”. Of the many good and great films, writers, producers and actors at the Sedona International... 

SedonaEye.com contributing writer, Hollywood Jim, and fan Ladies and Gentlemen! May I have your attention, please?   Sedona’s Desert Flour Bakery and Bistro, in the slammin’ it down Village of Oak Creek, was the place for a Thursday night live of awesome music performed by local Sedona favorite, Eric Williams, and formerly of Nashville now west coaster, Lindy Gravelle. The... 

SedonaEye.com contributing writer, Hollywood Jim, and fan When asked to cover Mark Growden’s performance at Studio Live, I first had to check out the man with the banjo and accordion. I did my usual YouTube search and discovered Mark’s “Coyote” video. The song is haunting and the video, the genius of Christiane Cegavske, is unlike anything I’ve seen before. Mr.... 

Can you say “Ohm” threes times please? The word, or should I say the sound “Ohm” is the universal sound of God and you must chant it three times to strengthen your connection to the Universe. All sound echoes into space forever, and Sedona’s own Amitabha does this splendidly. I first encountered Amitabha while dining at a restaurant in Jerome–as you recall... 

Happy New Year everyone! As you all know I emceed the New Year’s Eve Countdown at the famous Club Sultana in Williams for the Rewired Band, and it was a night to remember. Weather permitted and 2010 went out without a hitch…for a snowplow! SedonaEye.com contributing writer, Hollywood Jim, and fan I admit to a tad bit of trepidation after hearing the daytime winter storm warnings issued... 

Whoa, whoa, folks! Me perform at Studio Live? If talented musically then I might be asked, so instead I was invited to the Studio Live Potluck Dinner held last Monday evening.  Studio Live is home to the Sedona Performers Guild located at 215 CoffeePot Drive right here in good old West Sedona. Not knowing what to expect other than food, I discovered much more than the groaning table of buffet-usual. I... 

Larry and Anita A party isn’t a party until you got Hollywood Jim and esteemed guests at your crib! I was the lucky host of Sedona’s very first “Red Party” this past weekend, a perfect time to kick off the holiday season in style. All the guests were asked to wear something red or face ridicule by none other than me and my camera, and all merrily complied. As you can see... 

SedonaEye.com contributing writer, Hollywood Jim, and fan Sedona AZ (November 24, 2010) – It’s always about this time that we begin to reflect on the past and look forward to a brand new year. I find myself reflecting with quiet gratitude for all the good that life has given me, and for the “not so good” I am determined to be thankful for its invaluable life lessons.... 

Flagg, Wade, Loomis and O'Neal with Hollywood Jim SedonaEye.com contributing writer, Hollywood Jim, and fan Last Saturday, I had the distinct pleasure of being invited to the performance of the band called “Rewired” at the Rocking B Saloon in Cottonwood, AZ. There was a hint of anticipation when we pulled into the already packed parking lot and heard sounds of musicians warming up... 

Sedona's ST.com contributing writer, Hollywood Jim, and fan Hi Folks! We all know how expensive it is these days to get the family out of the house, let alone feed them. My recent discovery in Scottsdale will have you and the kids eating out like it was the 1980′s all over again! I don’t get to Phoenix often, so when my friend asked me to tag along to Scottsdale on a business...
