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

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

     One man.
     One band.
     One way.

        American Zen

Coyote finally admits to being a one-man band.

"I didn't want to be a one-man band," Coyote testifies. "When I moved to Utah I put some bands together but they had limitations. My brother sent me a 4-track tape recorder so I started recording. That was when I got the idea for the "invisible bass player" also," chuckles Coyote. "I rented an 8-track Tascam and recorded the bass tracks to all our songs. When we performed the Salt Lake City night clubs and event centers, we had an "invisible bass player.""

Little did Coyote realize that this was the first piece of his band to be absorbed by him. Prior to moving to Salt Lake City, Coyote had been the lead guitar front man of the COYOTE GRAVEYARD band with Marshall Woodson on drums and Dann Link on bass.

The Woodstock Years of Sid's Place

Give drugs for Christmas.

Or maybe, a book about drugs.

Smoking banana peels? Aspirin in Coca-Cola?

Taxi cab dealers in Tijuana, Mexico?

Wanna know the truth?

Can you handle the truth?

The truth... is like acid... you must endure it.

This album just became twice as difficult...

We’re ready to start launching podcasts of our progress. We offered to do more intermediate podcasts to show our progress... and ended up spending the last two months just recording the 36 songs of LEVEL 4 = KUNG FU COWBOY. We haven’t produced or released any podcasts for the past two months.

Get ready!

5. - - Coyote Radio - -

CoyoteRadio.TV and ShaolinRecords.com LOWER PRICES

From $9.99 to $8.88 per album of songs by Shaolin Records artists.

Shaolin Records wanted to sell our albums for more, especially since we often have over 20 songs per album. The less we make per song, the less goes to the artist and the songwriters...

We hope this new price will compete with the iTunes price of $9.99.

SID'S PLACE poetry

I really enjoyed reading my poetry and lyrics in the book I wrote, SID’S PLACE.

It had been over a year since I’d read it, and I was moved...

Hey, I’m not just saying this because I wrote it! It’s a good book!

Not A Christmas Book

AUTUMN FLAVOURS, Coyote’s first poetry book from the early 1970s, is very dark and somber for this gay time of year.

I recommend KUNG FU COWBOY ORIGINAL DRAFT. That would be more romantic or ... festive.

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.
