When KUNG FU COWBOY split from 36 songs into two 18 song albums, I thought it would be easier...than when it grew into a four album series.
Currently, the overall project of LEVEL 4 = KUNG FU COWBOY is running loose in the field. The horses have scattered. The Cowhands are missing. The cattle are mostly in sight of the hacienda.
The hacienda at shaolinRECORDS.com will be an index DIRECTORY of the various albums and projects created for LEVEL 4 = KUNG FU COWBOY.

2. - - BUDDHA KUNG FU NEWS: Masonic Kung Fu and Freemasonry - -
Webpage About Masonic Kung Fu
RichardDelConnor.com is my record producer website for my born name, Richard Del Connor.
When I joined Freemasonry, they knew of my identities, but said I could only use my "legal name," of Richard Del Connor. Perhaps, so Masons don't get confused with similar names--they insist on using your middle name also.
I appreciate this. I've been using my middle name all my life. It has caused me some discomfort though, when I get lost in the "Ds" for "Del Connor" instead of, "Connor."
So Richard Del Connor is me. So this will be my Masonic website also.
"Project 14" of the website is about the "Masonic Kung Fu" I discovered on June 9, 2009.
I am planning to travel to China, to research this book about Kung Fu, Freemasonry, Chineses Masons, and the Japanese invading China in 1938.

3. -- FOLK ROCK PODCAST of SHAOLIN RECORDS --
2010 Folk Rock Podcast of Shaolin Records
"I cried yesterday."
"No, not those tears you get from a touching movie."
"That gut wrenching all body tighten-up, jaw vibrating uncontrollably, then the teary eyes--kind of crying."
"I got this when I heard the song, "Almost Cut My Hair," by David Crosby, of Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young."
"The line, "I feel like I owe it to someone," was sung by David. That's been my problem this past year. Giving up my long hair felt to me, like a betrayal to you. But then, even worse yet, I discovered that you didn't care. That world had changed, but my viewpoints, well, many of them, are the same as they were in 1967."
"I wonder how my novel, Sid's Place, represents my character? Although the hero, Tom Calder, started as a spinnoff of a couple friends and my own brother, Tom, I think Tom Calder ended up being me."
I purchased the song, "Almost Cut My Hair," from iTUNES. You can get to it from the link below. This song represents The Hippy Coyote. We'll probably make an iMiX of it really soon.
Check out the KUNG FU COWBOY iMIX below.
We need reviews of the novel by Coyote, Sid's Place. Contact me for a press kit.

LEVEL 1 Was The Beginning of AMERICAN ZEN
Coyote was producing his rock opera-movie, COYOTE IN A GRAVEYARD, with most key actors and staff hired or ready to donate their work for points in the movie in 1989. Mike Tyson wanted to invest in the movie. Spielberg was interested.
Kathleen Kennedy offered to let us use the pirate ship at Universal Studios, being used to shoot the movie, HOOK. The song, "ELAINE," on Kung Fu Cowboy PART 1, is one of the songs from the original soundtrack of COYOTE IN A GRAVEYARD. Coyote cut a new vocal for the song in 2009.
So when Coyote moved to Utah, he had been performing clubs in Hollywood, like Club Lingerie, solo on electric guitar, or playing beach coffee houses, solo electric or acoustic, and performing the Night Clubs with his COYOTE GRAVEYARD band, which performed songs from Coyote's past decade of song writing.
Life came to a grinding halt in Salt Lake City, Utah, when Coyote, cat Celise, semi-wife Michelle, and 1-year old daughter Caitlin, moved to Utah.
Their rent money got ripped off. Michelle lost her job in Park City. Coyote couldn't get photography work.
"I couldn't get recording work. I couldn't get movie work. I, Richard Del Connor, got some acting work. But I was Mr. Mom, and the jobs I got in Los Angeles were from a decade of performing and working in the entertainment industry."
"There was no entertainment industry in Salt Lake City. It was a small town with a few clubs, and a few production companies for television commercials."
Coyote's life was stripped away and his every minute of every day became caring for his daughter, Caitlin, so Michelle could work "temp jobs."

8. -- BUDDHIST JOURNEY of American Zen: at americanZEN.org --
PART 1 Website of Kung Fu Cowboy
This PART 1 website section, of the LEVEL 4 website section, of americanZEN.org was completed before I rewrote the album storyline into KING SOLOMON'S TEMPLE.
It wasn't very difficult to make the transformation in the story. I'm not sure whether that's good or bad. My storyline of betrayal and infidelity needed only to have a few songs rearranged to fit into the Masonic legend of Hiram Abif being murdered in King Solomon's Temple, 3,000 years ago.
Hmmmm.
