In
1974, Richard Del Connor was performing as a blues-rock guitarist
in San Diego. When he became recording engineer, he developed talents
on other instruments to record his song demos and be hired as a
session player for radio commercials, publisher demos, mariachi
records, country and folk music albums being recorded at Bonita
Studios where he worked.
His
own bands were originally billed as "LOTUS," but were
changed to "THE RICH," as a brand of their quality and
because the band featured the music of Rich, Richard Del Connor,
also known as, "Dickie
Dare."
The
rock operas, UNDERGROUND,
IN VIOLENCE,
and THE PAUPER,
were billed as, THE RICH.
Coyote's
first album, TEMPTATION,
released 1984 by Shaolin Records, lists the artist on the cover
as, "RICHARD O'CONNOR," but on the back cover lists
the band as, "THE RICH."
As
many of these studio recordings from 1975 to 1986 are transferred
from their analog tape masters to digital, we will offer them here.
One of the LIVE SHOW cassette recordings is used on the beginning
of the song, "In
Line," on the American Zen album,
