I lost my Alvarez acoustic guitar in December 2009. That marked the beginning of my new career on electric guitar, again.

I was at a local music store yesterday. I walked home and went online to research some models and variations not available a the music store.

Then, I walked back to Grayson's Music and was given excellent advice, and information that helped me to design my NEW ROAD SHOW. I've picked out my guitar, my new amp, my microphone and wah-wah pedal.

I am so excited.

As soon as the world can afford to hire me -- I can afford my new rig. So come on world. HIRE ME!

I'd like to tour, but none of the big or small acts I know have any tours they can fit me into as an opening act.

If I can't tour, I'll record some more live videos.

One way or the other, big audience or small, I am going to perform this next year.

I'm playing my second gig this year, towmorrow, Friday night at THE SMELL club in downtown Los Angeles. I've never even been there. I don't have a car, so I'll take the bus with my old 1984 Fender Strat, then hopefully find someone to give me a ride home--to my house--or theirs...

You'll see.

In 2009 Richard Del Connor, The Hippy Coyote, recorded 36 songs which were divided into the first two KUNG FU COWBOY albums with 18 songs each.

PART 1 of LEVEL 4 = KUNG FU COWBOY
raises up past the compassion and love and lust and romantic songs, poetry and lyrics of LEVEL 3 = I WANT YOU TO LOVE ME.

LEVEL 3 displayed Coyote's ability to look beyond his selfish desires and human needs to find purpose and destiny in life.

As a KUNG FU COWBOY, our happy hippie is transformed into the community hero and role model. Teaching Kung Fu and Tai Chi classes at the YMCAs and Los Angeles County Parks and Recreation, our coyote cowboy is in top shape and sharper than ever.

Retired?

Seriously. Ooops. I didn't have permission. So I took out the company's name.

One of those big-time-I've bought music books from them...hired Rory to write a guitar book.

Coyote was classically trained too. Rory still reads, but Coyote says music is better in the mind than on paper.

Course, that's not entirely true. Check out the poetry book, Utah Phase 1 to see how Coyote reads music. The lyric sheets Coyote used to cut their new album, LEVEL 2 = PEACE OF MIND.

Did you know Coyote used to play trombone?

Check out Daryoon's SLIDE GUITAR on "Daryoon" and "I Want To Laugh #2."

Steve GIVES COYOTE his Custom 500 Trophy Triumph Motorcyle. Steve and his dad are upgrading to the 650 Bonneville Triumphs.

"Bettie wanted me to ride with him, so he gave me a motorcycle. That's Steve for ya," explains Coyote.

The custom designed handlebars of Coyote's new bike look like steer antlers, heavy metal style.

"The orange flamed gas tank isn't what I would have asked for," says Coyote. "But I'm not complaining. The engine's been bored out to 580 or something -- and my favorite part: Steve said the speedometer detracted from the beauty of his custom designed handlebars -- so no speedometer."

Coyote's already had this lack of odometer/speedometer pointed out to him by a couple neighborhood policemen -- when they could catch him. I'll let Steve tell that story.

Steve and Coyote spend the most time together. They both like to sit and "veg out" listening to vinyl records and eating popcorn. They are true music lovers.

In the studio they each act as a coach for the other person. When Coyote's getting tired Steve will make him take a water break. When Steve's tired, Coyote makes him "jam-out" on something completely spontaneous. They're good for each other.

I started in the UCLA Motion Picture Program in 1984. I graduated in 1987 and made a bunch of music videos, tv commercials, MTV segments, and special effects scenes for movies.

Then I got married.

Then I got unmarried and became a photojournalist. What kind of photojournalist? Well

• ROCK CONCERT PHOTOGRAPHER
• REVIEWER
• PHOTOJOURNALIST.

Then Steven Spielberg and Kathleen Kennedy got interested in my first screenplay, COYOTE IN A GRAVEYARD.

Michael J. Fox created a buzz for me when he came onstage with my band one night and asked to play, "Johnny B. Goode," which he was getting ready to film for some upcoming movie called, BACK TO THE FUTURE.

Hey, I guess that means I may have helped him in the part a little bit. I'll have to go check out that movie and look at that scene again. I was playing bass while he borrowed the guitar player's guitar. So it was Michael J. Fox, Richard Connor, and drummer Bruce Candelaria, and keyboardist Scott Hitchings.

Oh yeah, back in those days I was still recording, but I wasn't a Recording Engineer anymore, as I had been in the seventies. Because I was well known as a studio designer, musicians like Fleetwood Mac and Producer David Foster would call me to remodel their studios or build speaker cabinets.

Mostly, I enjoyed the artistic part of building and shaping something, like sculpture. But being known as, "The Carpenter," was not what I was aiming at. I wanted to be a RECORD PRODUCER.

I graduated the very first R.I.A.A. school class offered in 1975 or 1976.

Carmine Appice of Vanilla Fudge, Then BBA Beck Bogert and Appice, Cactus, and later the Rod Stewart band, was a principle founder of this school. I think they were separate from the other RIAA but I'm not sure.

It was a great class, with a great book -- still used today, and always held in a great studio. I was in!

After that I just needed to show anyone my skills and I had a job.

The other thing I learned from the beginning was ORGANIZATION. Even now in the digital world, without a paper trail, you need a digital trail.

Files which are "Masters" can become indistinguishable from copies so extra care has to be made to identify which ones are to used as masters which ones have the subcodes which have iTunes info...

So I'd like to see more people really be Recording Engineers and make sure that all those filing things are done -- as if there was a "real" recording engineer sitting next to you.
