3. -- FOLK ROCK PODCAST of SHAOLIN RECORDS --

The Hippy Coyote of American Zen

Threatening to perform live in the podcast studio, Coyote boasts of his breaking a guitar string minutes earlier while recording two LIVE SONGS for the CoyoteRadio.net podcasts of THE AMERICAN ZEN BUDDHIST ROCK PODCAST, also produced by Shaolin Records and released weekly.

Featured Songs:
"Don't Make Me Laugh"    (Very aggressive solo performance by Coyote on his Alvarez 12-string acoustic guitar. Rock'n'roll dynamic song that John Lennon of The Beatles would've written and Guns & Roses should perform.)
"Reservoir"   (Romantic, spiritual, and inspirational song about Coyote's mountaintop refuge in the hills above Pasadena, California. Sounds like Donovan, Bob Dylan, or Nick Drake)

Podcast 6 of the Folk Rock Podcast
Hosted by The HIppy Coyote of American Zen
http://www.folkrockpodcast.com

Featured Folk Rock Artist:    American Zen

Coyote says that SonicBids will post his ad next week, so stay tuned for another folk rock band next week that is not named American Zen.

Coyote focuses on two slide guitar songs by Rory G from the CHRIST KILLER album released this year by Shaolin Records. These back to back songs on the cd are aired back to back in this radio show's conclusion.

Featured Songs:
"I Am Not From Here"    (Primitive caveman style song led by Rory G on slide guitar with rap style intro vocal by Coyote that our hippie says is not hip-hop or rap -- he calls it "beat poetry" or Beatnik poetry. Sounds like a mixture of early Johnny Winter and Jim Morrison of The Doors poetry.)
"Daryoon"   (Awesome acoustic guitar and bass riff lays down groove for Rory G to burn an amazing slide guitar melodic solo on his 1965 Pleasant japanese guitar. Sounds like Jeff Beck, or Rory Gallagher. Coyote calls this "Folk Rock Slide Guitar Music.")

Podcast 5 of the Folk Rock Podcast

http://www.folkrockpodcast.com

Featured Folk Rock Artist:   American Zen

Coyote apologizes for SonicBids.com not authorizing the Shaolin Records ADVERTISEMENT FOR FOLK ROCK BANDS. As a result of not running the Shaolin Records ad at SonicBids, this fourth podcast broadcast radio show will feature another album written by Coyote, COYOTE RADIO TUJUNGA.

This Episode 4 of the Folk Rock Podcast features two songs from THE HIPPY COYOTE OF AMERICAN ZEN performing live. Coyote explains how some of his Kung Fu brothers who are record producers, offered to help complete the Christ Killer album and or the COYOTE RADIO TUJUNGA live album by The Coyote. With no help from either producer, Richard Connor completed the LEVEL 2 = CHRIST KILLER cd on his new iMac G5.

Featured Songs:
"Christ Killer"    (Physical Graphitti by Led Zeppelin could've included this song.)
"The End The Beginning"   (Beach Boys look out!)

American Zen Buddhist Rock Podcast 33

PODCAST 33 of the American Zen Buddhist Rock Podcast
Hosted by The Hippy Coyote of American Zen

Episode 13 of American Zen's LEVEL 2 = CHRIST KILLER cd.

Coyote performs LIVE in his girlfriend's kitchen for this podcst. Coyote says, "Hey! I'm Living a good life."

The storyline for today focuses on the NUMBER 13. "It means a lot of different things, to a lot of different people -- but today we're gonna talk about LUCK."

Coyote skips today's reading at actZEN.com due to his excitement in the kitchen. "I'm gonna do a live song, right here and now," explains our Zen Pup. "I like playing to God and Buddha and all those other people who might be watching -- but sometimes it's nice to be in this world and play for somebody here."

Coyote apologizes for his "ribbing" Christians about Apostle Paul touching the wounds of the resurrected Christ, and referring to Jesus as a zombie. Coyote requests you not send hate mail as he's had to turn some of his phone answer machine messages over to the police department already.

Coyote offers to teach us that, "Luck does not exist."

Not to disappoint his audience Coyote offers, "...something better than luck." Translating the word "luck" to mean "circumstance," Coyote teaches us "THE SECRET OF GOOD LUCK." The result of Coyote's luck theory should create a "good life."

PODCAST 32 of the American Zen Buddhist Rock Podcast
Hosted by The Hippy Coyote of American Zen

Episode 12 of American Zen's LEVEL 2 = CHRIST KILLER cd.

Continuing at actZEN.com, Coyote reviews the first pages of the MATURITY SECTION after starting at the "Person" page by Master Zhen, founder of shaolinZEN.org CyberTemple. "We're here to have a great life," explains Coyote.

Referring to Buddha as a "genius... an amazing dude!" and praising the written words of the first Buddha and the many others who followed in the past two centuries -- Coyote criticizes Paul the Apostle for "putting words in Christ's mouth..." Risking more disdain, The Hippy Coyote continues his blasphemy as he claims that Christ wouldn't raise people from the dead.

PODCAST 31 of the American Zen Buddhist Rock Podcast
Hosted by The Hippy Coyote of American Zen

Episode 11 of American Zen's LEVEL 2 = CHRIST KILLER cd.

Continuing at actZEN.com, Coyote backtracks to the page he was supposed to revisit last week, "Person," to be your physical trainer and coach as he reminds everyone that their life is a snapshot of many different moments of their day, all combined together, to create a "Person."

Coyote confesses that his Kung Fu Master, Wong Jack Man of San Francisco, was the man who beat up Bruce Lee in the sixties -- which resulted in Bruce Lee creating a new martial arts style, Jeet Kune Do. Coyote criticizes Bruce Lee and talks excitedly about learning TanTui 9, which Bruce's father taught him as a youth ("Tom Toys" as Bruce Lee referred to them in his autobiography.).
