American Zen was created in 1991 when The Hippy Coyote became stranded in Utah with his daughter. Acting in the roles of all four musicians, he thought it was temporary and his bandmates would eventually return. The Coyote lived the lives of all four American Zen musicians through the eight level spiritual journey of Shaolin Zen Buddhism including his Vision Quest with the Lakota Sioux on the Pineridge Reservation and battling with the Mormons of Utah. This 8-LEVEL spiritual journey of American Zen ended with the Memorial Day Album with stories of WWII, Vietnam and the Middle East War.

OPENING SONG: “Peace Of Mind #2” from LEVEL 1 = Peace Of Mind by American Zen.

CLOSING SONG: “God Will Protect” from LEVEL 2 = Christ Killer album produced by Richard Del Connor and released on Shaolin Records independent record label founded in 1984.

The Hippy Coyote (Richard Del Connor) tells about his last year at UCLA when he worked for the UCLA Extension Department and was also hired out to the Director’s Guild where he was paid by the hour to inspect their brand new Blue-Ray movie disks before they were put in to the DGA Archive.

“I was a psychedelic hero back in those days…” Coyote recollects about his acid popping days in the 1960s. He gets carried away revealing his counter-culture flower power lifestyle from 1966 to 1969. His psychedelic friends were also the musicians he was performing with….

Coyote talks about dodging the police after curfew…

The 8-LEVEL Buddhist journey of “America’s First Buddhist Rock Band™” AMERICAN ZEN:

LEVEL 1 is starting a family in Utah.

LEVEL 2 is battling the Mormons in Utah.

LEVEL 3 is being accepted and loved by everyone… including the Mormons.

LEVEL 4 is the THE Kung Fu Cowboy being a Freemason for 7 years.

LEVEL 5 is becoming a Pipe Carrier “Medicine Man” of the Lakota Sioux.

LEVEL 6 is my “hanblechia” vision quest at the Pineridge Reservation in South Dakota.

LEVEL 7 is being a traveling stagehand and “Philosopher Poet” performing poetry and flute.

LEVEL 8 is about soldiers telling their war stories.

It’s been an amazing adventure unlike any life story you’ve ever heard or known. Impossible for anyone to duplicate, but hopefully inspiring and enlightening. It was for me.

The song, “Simple Lady” is produced by Richard Del Connor.
