DESCRIPTION:

The original version of this book, a notebook, 4 Decades of Love, is hand written.  I didn't intend to publish it at all.  I wrote the pages nice, so that people would be impressed when I took it to gigs for performing the lyric sheets inside.  Plus, I enjoy my handwriting, when I take the time to make it nice.

The first version of this book was created when I was hired by the Panamericana Lodge #513 to perform at their annual fundraiser.  Due to an hour of time limitation, and some teens in the audience, I edited some of the lyrics and told the stories of these relationships in a humorous manner that didn't offend anyone.  Got quite a few giggles from the girls and wives though.

It was surprising to me, to realize how incredible and inspiring my love life has been.  I chose songs from each of the last four decades and attempted to represent all my "significant others" as best possible.  Ironically, I just turned 58 this week and look forward to another four decades of sex, love, lust, romance, and the time I will share with them.  I especially like snuggling at night, holding hands, kissing and looking across the table into the eyes of someone I adore.

Plus, my future loves will certainly inspire some more wonderful music from within.  This book represents the half-way point of my love life.  The stories and lyrical journeys are inspiring me and I hope you'll find them inspiring also.  We live and learn.  We love and learn.  Let's keep on learning!

During the 1980s I worked with a lot of British rock bands, American artists, and performed sessions as a bass player with Badfinger, Supertramp, Fleetwood Mac, Pink Floyd, The Rolling Stones, Kenny Loggins, Frank Zappa, and Elton John's Band, Keith Richards, Steve Miller, and a bunch of punk rockers like The Circle Jerks, Dead Kennedys, Red Hot Chili Peppers, The Cripples, Glyders, Alisa & The Nomads, Bangles, Oingo Boingo, The Rich, Lotus, and my own band Richard Connor which attracted Michael J. Fox, and Steven Spielberg when we performed the rock opera, Coyote In A Graveyard, also billed as Coyote Graveyard, later to become American Zen.

I was also a professional photographer for many artists and enjoyed working with The Cult, Skid Row, Motley Crue, Guns & Roses, America, Donovan, Poison, Capitol Records, RCA Records, MCA Records, The Village Recorder, The Record Plant, Cherokee Studios, Crimson Sound, Tom Scott, Hank Cicalo of The Monkees and Frank Sinatra, Jason Scheff of Chicago, Mike Thompson of The Eagles, The Supremes, Walt Disney, Mike Chapman and Blondie, Boz Scaggs, Foghat, Cheap Trick, MTV, and Alice Cooper.  

After graduating UCLA Film School, I worked form Miramax, Hachette films, Apogee, Paragon Arts, Neopictures, Universal Pictures, New World Pictures, CBC, Redcar, Cinesong, and some Japanese production companies like Canon, and Minolta.  The song, "I Want You To Love Me," was written on film stage.

Working as a recording engineer in Los Angeles studios I worked many more bands like Paul McCartney & Wings, Tina Turner, Kenny Rogers & The First Edition, U2, ELP Emerson Lake & Palmer, Jim Messina, Poco, and dozens of Los Angeles bands that came and went.  Oh yeah, I just saw Soundgarden last year.  I look forward to digging out my journals and photography from the backstage parties and Hollywood Hills mansion all-nighters.  Back then girls were always raising there blouses for a photo by me.  Just surviving those hot tub fandangos was an athletic feat.

Interestingly, my original manuscript for this book was locked in storage, unavailable to me -- so I created this romantic lyrical journey again from scratch.  Then, after attaining the original manuscript from my storage unit, I was surprised how closely the song orders matched.  There were a few changes and a couple different songs representing a few other lovers... so I'm combining the two books together to give you the fuller story.  I've forgotten a couple names.  Oops.  Sorry.  Love, Coyote

SHORT DESCRIPTION  (400 words):
From being a hippie in the 1960s, recording engineer in the seventies, rock star in the 80s, to a Mr. Mom in the 1990s, my loves have been documented in my poetry, lyrics, and songs.  My past four decades of lovers are represented here with song lyrics and the accompanying guitar chords above them.  Many of these songs have been on albums and a few in movies.  This collection was created for a Freemason fundraiser I performed at in 2009. Enjoy!

For this book, 4 Decades of Love, I INVENTED this new system of putting the CHORDS ABOVE LYRICS WITH UNDERSCORES.  This holds the chords in place better and you can tell when they are out of place easier... plus in the new ebook formats, spaces and indents don't work anyway.  Check it out.  Everyone will copying this new lyric and chord writing technique.... and using this system... "The Coyote System."  Hey, sounds like a rock band name.  Hmmm.  I've been performing solo the past few years.  Due to a lack of space, "The Hippy Coyote performing live," got reduced to, "THC Live."  Fans liked the new band name.  We'll see.

Love,
THCoyote

https://www.smashwords.com/profile/view/shaolin

Richard Del Connor has been publishing poetry since 1964, performing rock'n'roll since 1967, producing his own albums of music and recited poetry since 1972, and writing novels since 1984.  

Richard Connor was known as Richard O'Connor from 1980 to 2007 when he became a Freemason and since then uses his legal name of Richard Del CONNOR.  

In 1984, while performing his rock opera, Coyote In A Graveyard, Michael J. Fox and the press dubbed him, "The Coyote."  In 2007, after dissecting his brain and identity using his self-help website, www.actZEN.com, he became "The Hippy Coyote."

Richard began studying Shaolin Kung Fu and Yang Tai Chi in 1980.  His record company, Shaolin Records, was staffed with interns who received free daily Gongfu and Taijiquan lessons.  This earned him the Buddhist Kung Fu name of Zhen Shen-Lang, "Spirit Wolf of Truth," in 1994 that is now known mostly as Buddha Zhen, founder of Buddha Kung Fu, Shaolin Chi Mantis, and the nonprofit organization for troubled youth, Tai Chi Youth.

Richard got one of his Shaolin Records interns pregnant and moved to Salt Lake City, Utah to be a Mr. Mom.  Forced to be a one-man band, he began the "Buddhist Journey of American Zen."  American Zen is "America's First Buddhist Rock Band," and guiding today's youth to pursue spirituality at www.americanZEN.org

In 2011, Richard began writing his first epic poems and publishing his poetry books at www.shaolinCOMMUNICATIONS.com where his novels and screenplays are also sold.

Referred to as a "Buddhist Scientist," Richard offers thousands of pages of free resources to inspire, enlighten, and entertain.  The Shaolin Zen "CyberTemple" at www.shaolinZEN.org has been improving the lives of over 1 million people since its creation in 1999. 

Join this Hippie Buddha, Richard Del Connor, The Hippy Coyote, Buddha Zhen, on his path of fun, frolic, and fantastic wisdoms.

Richard Del Connor has been publishing poetry since 1964, performing rock'n'roll since 1967, producing his own albums of music and recited poetry since 1972, and writing novels since 1984. 

Richard Connor was known as Richard O'Connor from 1980 to 2007 after seeking to define his betrothal to Rita Wolf by identifying himself with his Irish heritage.  He also discovered he was a descendent of the Spanish DeLaVega and Serrano families, German Warner and Settles also.  When Richard became a Freemason in 2007 he dropped the "O'" and renewed his legal name of Richard Del CONNOR.

In 1984, while performing his rock opera, Coyote In A Graveyard, Michael J. Fox and the press dubbed him, "The Coyote."  In 2007, after dissecting his brain and identity using his self-help website, www.ACTzen.com, he became the happy hippie, "The Hippy Coyote."   He also teaches bass, guitar, and singing lessons at www.HippyCoyote.com

Richard began studying Shaolin Kung Fu and Yang Tai Chi in 1980 learning Southern Style Sil Lum Gung Fu, then studying at the Tai Mantis Federation school in Torrance, California, where he graduated in 1984 as a "Sifu," or Shifu of Northern Shaolin Kung Fu, Yang Style and Wang Style Tai Chi, and Northern Praying Mantis Boxing of the Tai Chi Mantis, 7-Star Mantis, and Plum Blossom heritages. His record company, Shaolin Records, www.shaolinRECORDS.com, was staffed with interns who received free daily Gongfu and Taijiquan lessons. This earned him the Buddhist Kung Fu name of Zhen Shen-Lang (Shen-Lang ZHEN), "Spirit Wolf of Truth," in 1994 after becoming a leader and representative of the Chinese communities in Utah who referred to him as, "Zhen Shifu."  His mostly Mormon students addressed his as, "Master Zhen," until 2007 when as "Buddha Zhen," founder of, Shaolin Chi Mantis Traditional Buddhist Gongfu & Taijiquan schools, he launched a new Kung Fu and Tai Chi school tailored for Americans, Buddha Kung Fu.

Also the founder and Patriarch of the nonprofit organization for troubled youth, Tai Chi Youth in 1996, Richard has established and taught Shaolin Kung Fu and Tai Chi classes in over a dozen public schools, three churches, several rehabilitation centers and a maximum security prison.  This 501(c)(3) charity nonprofit education organization has improved the lives of hundreds of students by curing weight problems, obesity, drug addiction, mental and physical disorders.  Senior programs of Tai Chi Youth were the most widely attended classes between 2003 and 2011 when Richard, "Buddha Zhen," taught at the YMCAs in Los Angeles, California.

Richard got one of his Shaolin Records interns pregnant and moved to Salt Lake City, Utah to be a Mr. Mom from 1991 to 2011. In Utah he became a one-man band, and began the "Buddhist Journey of American Zen," amidst protests and boycotts from the local Mormon organizations (Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints).  American Zen became famous as "America's First Buddhist Rock Band," with its spiritual journey of poetry, essays, and albums of folk rock and classic rock music:
LEVEL 1 = PEACE OF MIND
LEVEL 2 = CHRIST KILLER
LEVEL 3 = I WANT YOU TO LOVE ME
LEVEL 4 = KUNG FU COWBOY PART 1: KING SOLOMON'S TEMPLE
LEVEL 4 = KUNG FU COWBOY PART 2: 3RD DEGREE MASTER MASON
LEVEL 4 = KUNG FU COWBOY PART 3: STONE ROSES
LEVEL 4 = KUNG FU COWBOY PART 4: THE COYOTE BLUES

Since 1999, American Zen fans of all ages have been following Richard's Buddhist odyssey through the band's albums, books, and albums at iTunes.  A podcast series, The American Zen Buddhist Podcast, listed at itunes.com as "Coyote Radio .NET," led thousands of fans on a journey through the daily stories and Mr. Mom life of Richard Del Connor for several years through the web blogs at www.CoyoteRadio.NET  Fans follow the continuing spiritual journey that is guiding today's youth to pursue spirituality at www.americanZEN.org

In 2011, Richard began writing his first epic poems, Rainbow In The Shade, The Potatoe Valentine & Other Love poems, and The AntiChrist.  Since Richard's first poems of the sixties, he strove to create the shortest, symbolic, creative poetry in short verses and songs of less than three minutes.  To write poems over 10,000 words each became a new storytelling medium for Richard Del Connor, who also wrote this epic poetry under the name of, The Hippy Coyote.  The AntiChrist was removed from the web and is no longer available to the public.  Religious historians and scholars can obtain copies of this revolutionary book after signing release forms of confidentiality and nondisclosure.

After publishing The AntiChrist for a short period, Richard was "visited by Satan" who dictated many interesting facts to Richard that explained how many of Richard's stories and details of the epic poem, The Antichrist, were incorrect.  Satan shared with Richard many stories of Heaven, God, the other angels, the creation of the Garden of Eden, Tower of Babylon, and other significant events in history up to the creation of Zen Buddhism in the sixth century by Bodhidharma at the original Shaolin Temple on Mt. Songshan in Northern China.  This book is offered to the public at www.shaolinCOM.com as History of Zen from A to Z - Including the Meaning of Life, Creation of Heaven, Hell, Humans and Earth... by Richard Del Connor, "Buddha Zhen."  (co-authored by Saten?)

Shaolin Communications also publishes lyric books from the albums Richard releases.  The book, Kung Fu Cowboy Original Draft, is a handwritten rough draft of the book that will hopefully be finished, but was transformed into the life story of King Solomon instead of Richard's autobiography in Kung Fu Cowboy Part 1:  King Solomon's Temple.

The Masonic Kung Fu Book 1 novel about teenagers in China, harboring a British Freemason as the Japanese attack in 1937, is a fictional version of how Richard's "Masonic Kung Fu" was invented.  After becoming a 3rd Degree Master Mason and learning the secret hand signs, dugards, penalties, and symbols of freemasonry, Richard discovered that one of the Kung Fu Forms he has taught for 30 years, "Lian Bu, Ling Po, Lien Bu...," was created for teaching and practicing European masonry to Chinese males in the 1930s, when Chinese were prohibited from becoming freemsons.

Referred to as a "Buddhist Scientist," Richard offers thousands of pages of free resources to inspire, enlighten, and entertain. The Shaolin Zen "CyberTemple" at www.shaolinZEN.org has been improving the lives of over 1 million people since its creation in 1999.  This "American Sect of Chinese Chan Buddhism," has had over 1 million attendees at the free website:

The original version of this book, a notebook, 4 Decades of Love, was hand written.  I didn't intend to publish it at all.  I wrote the pages nice, so that people would be impressed when I took it to gigs for performing the lyric sheets inside.  Plus, I enjoy my handwriting, when I take the time to make it nice.

The first version of this book was created when I was hired by the Panamericana Lodge #513 to perform at their annual fundraiser.  Due to an hour of time limitation, and some teens in the audience, I edited some of the lyrics and told the stories of these relationships in a humorous manner that didn't offend anyone.  Got quite a few giggles from the girls and wives though.

It was surprising to me, to realize how incredible and inspiring my love life has been.  I chose songs from each of the last four decades and attempted to represent all my "significant others" as best possible.  Ironically, I just turned 58 this week and look forward to another four decades of sex, love, lust, romance, and the time I will share with them.  I especially like snuggling at night, holding hands, kissing and looking across the table into the eyes of someone I adore.

Plus, my future loves will certainly inspire some more wonderful music from within.  This book represents the half-way point of my love life.  The stories and lyrical journeys are inspiring to me and I hope you'll find them inspiring also.  We live and learn.  We love and learn.  Let's keep on learning and loving!

For this book, 4 Decades of Love, I INVENTED this new system of putting the CHORDS ABOVE LYRICS WITH UNDERSCORES.  This holds the chords in place better as you change screen or font sizes.  Check it out.  Everyone will be copying this new lyric and chord writing technique.... and using this system... "The Coyote System."  Hey, sounds like a rock band name.  Hmmm.  I've been performing solo the past few years.  Due to a lack of space, "The Hippy Coyote performing live," got reduced to, "THC Live."  Fans liked the new band name.  We'll see.

Love,
THCoyote
