Kung Fu Cowboy
= 1/4 Done

This PART 1 is the first of four albums of this LEVEL 4 of American Zen.

I am really excited.

Yeah, things have been tough...real tough. Next weekend is FATHER'S DAY. I'm looking forward to NOT being a father, so this is a landmark event as I spend it with my family FOR THE LAST TIME.

That's not a prediction--it's a prayer.

This cowboy is ready to hit the road with his guitar and DOUBLE SABERS.

CD tray inlay card This Freemason legend unfolded for me last Summer when I was preparing for my 3rd Degree Proficiency. I discovered that one of my Kung Fu Forms was encoded with Masonic signs, Masonic secrets, Masonic symbols, and a storyline about Hiram Abif.

The album changed from MY AUTOBIOGRAPHY into a ROCK OPERA about King Solomon completing his legendary Temple in Jerusalem.

By organizing the storyline more distinctly, I was able to finish mixing the album telling the stories of these characters, rather than just my story and the characters from my reality.

It's a rock opera. When it was the story of me--it was a musical journal--I guess.

But now, if it's a story about someone else, It's a rock opera. Yippy!!!

Sheesh. I write rock operas, even when I'm trying not to write rock operas.

My life is a rock opera.

Wow. It is.

NOTE: Father's Day was worse than I ever imagined. My son, who was planning to return to his grandfather in Georgia, where he's been living the past two years, told me that, "This is the worst Father's Day of my life, and it's because I'm with you."

NOTE after NOTE: My son returned to Georgia, but got into arguments with his grandpa, after spending a summer with my ingrate ex-wife. He pissed off his Grandfather so bad, that he pulled him out of the first week of school in Georgia and sent him on a plane home to is mother. So now, he's been abandoned by two other fathers, since he abandoned me in 2005. Just in hcase you thought I might be exaggerating, that makes four families my ex-wife has destroyed since I've met her.

I was talking to my dad earlier, and told him, "It's really a shame that I didn't get to have a family in this lifetime. I really wanted a nice solid old-fashioned family and ended up with nothing."

I was also talking to my daughter's boyfriend today and told him, "I am incensed when I hear people in biographies complain about their father not being around because of work or prison...I spent my entire life with my kids 24/7, homeschooled them, taught them music, and Kung Fu, and THEY abandoned me and don't want me around." So all you working fathers out there--don't listen to your kids and wife complain about you not being home. It's lies. And also fathers, don't feel guilty about not spending time with your kids, they won't remember most of it anyway.

LEVEL 4 = Kung Fu Cowboy
PART 1

King Solomon's Temple

Songlist:

1. Kung Fu Cowboy
This is the first song I ever recorded in ProTools back in 2002? I was still recovering from the Black Widow spider bite and downloaded the FREE version of Protools 5. It was only an 8-track program so I decided to fill up the tracks with the tongue-clicks for percussion. Some of those original tongue-clicks and acoustic and vocals are on this song. I added more to when I started this album project. Little did I know it would be the title song of this album, back when I wrote this song.

I have a really cool music video planned for this...Cowboys around a campfire...

This will be where we jump back in time to KING SOLOMON'S TEMPLE.

17. Kill The Spider
This song was written back in the 1970s. I can't even remember what girl or girls inspired it. My band was called THE RICH, and we lived in Venice, California, at that time.

I discovered this song in my music lyrics, after recovering from the black widow spider bite. I figured out how to play it to amuse my kids. They really liked it. It's a lot of fun to play. Here's an acoustic performance of it at a Tujunga house concert:

Kung Fu Cowboy
ORIGINAL DRAFT book

The Path of the Grasshopper

Actually, I don't like grasshoppers.

They weren't even fun to play with as a kid. Their hind legs have sharp spikes on them, and they spit on you. Really. They spit.

So, over the years that I've been doing Kung Fu, I just snickered when I got called, "Grasshopper."

One of my friend's mother had a better nickname for me. She called me, "Caine." I may spell it wrong, but David Carradine's name in the TV show, KUNG FU, was Kwai Chang Caine. She said it was my floppy Stetson cowboy hat that she liked.

Funny thing. Since I've been a kid, my friends have always complained, "My mother likes you more than me. Stop acting so nice around my parents!"

I wasn't trying to make my friends look bad. I've always enjoyed good manners. Even in the old western movies, I admired actors like, John Wayne, and Chuck Connors, and Sean Connery, who seemed to even be polite to the bad guys when they got beat up by them.

I do believe in chivalry. Cary Grant is about the most cynical of the actors I admired. He made me laugh the way I hope other people laugh at me. I don't mind being silly or exposing what I don't know. But I do want people to know I'm honest, trustworthy, and loyal.
