Coyote Wears a Tie?

Those of you who’ve followed Coyote’s spiritual journey know that he hasn’t worn a tie since 1984.
“I haven’t worn a watch since 1984 either!” exclaims Coyote.

Coincidentally, we were at the LAX airport last night and Coyote was reminded of the two years he worked at LAX as a Union Carpenter before the 1984 Olympics. “I was already a Master Mason in 1984,” explains our unhammered Coyote. A thousand years ago, Masons were the construction workers building churches and cathedrals. Before I became a Free & Accepted Master Mason, I was a Journeyman Carpenter. I was such a great carpenter, I could build anything out of anything in any shape you want. I did all those weird winding planters in front of the Linkletter Building that overlooks the ocean in Santa Monica. I built concrete watch towers, and I rebuilt the Santa Monica flood canals and movie star houses....worked for The Lone Ranger for a while..."

"But now, as a Master Mason, I get to learn the symbolism of all the tools I mastered as a working carpenter-mason."

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.
