Folk Rock Troubadour COYOTE

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.

Kung Fu Cowboy
     PART 1

1959 Rickenbacker 4000 bass
Part 1: King Solomon's Temple

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.

The original Kung Fu Cowboy

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.

This is my best flute playing album.

I love it.

Too bad the world didn't care that I was the best flute player in Utah.

Maybe somebody's better, but they don't play rock'n'roll flute like I do.

This is still a great album.

Just 4 musicians playing 4 instruments.

Well, not really. Because we only had 4 tracks to record onto, we combined the backing vocals with our instruments when we recorded. The bass and drums were usually recorded together...
