American Zen, America's first Buddhist rock band, released on June 9, 2010, LEVEL 4 = Kung Fu Cowboy PART 1 , the first album of the Kung Fu Cowboy series.

Coyote Invents New Songbook Format for Ebooks

Using the ___ underscore, our creative Coyote has formatted and released the songbook, 4 Decades of Love.

When books are resized, enlarged, or shrunk in Kindle Readers, iPads, or other portable reading devices -- Coyote's new technique of using the underscore between the guitar chords (above the lyrics) makes for easier reading if lines are broken.

Coyote created the songbook for a Freemason fundraiser of Masonic Lodge Panamericana 513. The original songbook was handwritten in Coyote's best calligraphy. The version at the Shaolin Records and Shaolin Communications websites is formatted for printing on 8.5" x 11" paper. The fonts and graphics are more elaborate than the ebook versions created for Kindle, iBooks, and Barnes & Noble.

"It was the ebook versions that inspired using the underscore," explains Coyote." The guitar chords need to be in the exact place above the lyrics. I found that the spaces didn't translate into the html and epub formats of the ebooks -- so I created the underscore in the same font as the lyrics. As the lyrics change size or font, the underscore should hold the chord spacings correctly."

About American Zen
American Zen is The Hippy Coyote who fronts the band on flute and electric guitar. Coyote is the "Kung Fu Cowboy" who studies Shaolin Kung Fu, and with his recent record, LEVEL 4 = Kung Fu Cowboy PART 2 has become the world's most astounding musician playing drums, electric bass, slide guitars, electric guitars, flute, harmonica, and a variety of other instruments and percussion. Coyote no longer performs or records acoustic guitar, since losing his Alvarez 12-string on December 3, 2009. However, with hundreds of songs recorded with his acoustic guitar since 1974, Coyote says he prefers his Marshall amplifier and wah-wah pedal now. All songs, lyrics, and poetry are composed by The Hippy Coyote, who has also written the novel, SID'S PLACE, and created the websites for each LEVEL of American Zen's ascent toward Heaven on their Zen Buddhist journey to Nirvana.

About Buddha Zhen
Zhen Shen-Lang "Truth Spirit-Wolf" or Spirit Wolf of Truth (The Chinese always put last name first.)
Buddha Zhen was recognized for his teaching skills while an Advanced Student of Tai Mantis Federation in early 1980s. However, Buddha Zhen, then known as Richard O'Connor, even passed up opportunities to perform with David Carradine, only considering his Shaolin Kung Fu to be a hobby. After moving to Utah in 1991, unable to find work in the record business or movie business, Kung Fu and Tai Chi became the only way for Buddha Zhen to support himself in Utah while being a Mr. Mom to two kids. Shaolin Chi Mantis was founded in 1992 and in 1996 Master Zhen created the Tai Chi Youth nonprofit 501(c)(3) charity organization for troubled youth. Buddha Zhen founded the Buddha Kung Fu school in 2008 which includes the Buddha Tai Chi, Shaolin Kids , and 12 Step 12 Week Kung Fu Bootcamp programs.
