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.

009-History Of American Zen: "3rd Degree Master Mason" by Richard Del Connor

I was a Freemason for 8 years. Actually, I am a Freemason. I am a rogue mason. Every Freemason is assigned a "Lodge" to register and participate in meetings and ceremonies. When you move to a new city, you register at a local lodge. Some cities have many to choose from. If you move to another state you must have proper papers and recommendation from the previous state's 'GRAND SECRETARY' and not have been kicked out of any lodge.

There is quality control in modern Freemasonry. But this 21st Century is not like the 20th Century Freemasonry. Although the ceremonies, oaths and graduations remain the same per each state of the USA, it's the members who create the identity of Freemasonry. Just like any corporation or even our own government. The laws don't define the government as much as the people running the government create it's identity.

This picture was taken after I completed and passed the infamous "3rd Degree" ritual. I had been blindfolded for an hour. You will also notice that I'm wearing a black bandana. I made a "Hippy Vow" in 1984 when I was working as a Union Carpentry Job at the LAX airport for a year. I vowed to 'never wear a watch or suit necktie' ever again. So when I joined the Masons and had to wear a tie, and formal suits... I wore a bandana. Since I am the "Kung Fu Cowboy" I was comfortable with that compromise.

It took me several years to get to the 3rd Degree.
