0. -- Main Announcement about AMERICAN ZEN featuring The Hippy Coyote --

Give the Gift of Love -- LEVEL 3 = I Want You To Love Me

 

This is my most most romantic album," says The Hippy Coyote. "It was my first album playing my drum set on," he pauses, "and played with as much emotion as skill."

Coyote's referring to songs like "Carol" that he was... well... at any rate, there are some amazing takes of some of these songs we intended to go back for... but didn't have the time to look for them...

Actually, it's because I'm the record producer, recording engineer, and performing talent--so the last thing I want to do is start labeling takes. Nope. I stop the recorder. Rewind to the beginning. Set it to record. Take a breath. Get a drink of water or usually just PRESS RECORD and hurry back to my position at the microphone.

But, this is, what I seem to love. Recording is incredibly demanding... but I love it.

I look forward to recording and releasing this first part of the KUNG FU COWBOY album series.

Merry Christmas to everyone everywhere from Shaolin Records.

The Woodstock Years of Sid’s Place

Coyote hung out with junkies and teens shooting speed and reds and rainbows and...

Coyote never used a needle. Never ever.

Coyote died on Christmas Eve, 1975.

His mother resuscitated him at the fire station in Bonita, California.

Coyote couldn't move his legs for three days afterward.

Laurie Love... resuscitated him.

Kung Fu videos. Most probably starring Buddha Zhen, but we are inviting all students, past and present to join us.

The web site is completely built and ready for the videos to be sold there. Real cheap! Probably $18.88 per video.

Our goal is to complete and release all 66 videos in the next two years.

About Shaolin Records:
Shaolin Records was launched in 1984, releasing vinyl records and cassette tapes of Kung Fu, Tai Chi, and folk rock music from Santa Monica, California. Our Zen Buddhist objectives of Shaolin Records are to 'enlighten and entertain™.' During the 1990s while located in Utah, Shaolin Records sold cassettes and books for American Zen, Shaolin Chi Mantis Traditional Buddhist Gongfu and Taijiquan, Tai Chi Youth, and parent book publisher, Shaolin Communications. In 2005, Shaolin Records launched the American Zen 8 levels of Shaolin Zen Buddhism to Nirvana with music, books, poetry, and webstories by Richard Del Connor who became "The Coyote" in 1984, and "The Hippy Coyote" in 2007. Shaolin Records also releases music, albums, books, and Tai Chi / Kung Fu instructional videos by Buddha Zhen, "Spirit Wolf of Truth."

About American Zen:
American Zen is led by The Hippy Coyote who fronts the band on flute and acoustic guitar. Coyote is a renaissance man who writes all the music, lyrics, webstories and poetry, then usually performs all the musical instruments on his album. The LEVEL 3 = I Want You To Love Me album is about a love affair that inspired the creation of Coyote's new "Bass Poetry" by recording one or more Rickenbacker bass tracks behind his orated poetry. We are hoping to have guest appearances from AMERICAN ZEN PAST ARTISTS. Any of the many musicians who have previously performed with The Hippy Coyote, The Rich, American Zen, Richard O'Connor, Rich Connor, or Richard Connor, Lotus, Lukey's Boat or Dogmeat, and the Coyote in a Graveyard rock opera bands are welcome.
