Biedermann left the music business behind and taught Shaolin Kung-Fu at the Buddhist Monastery City of Ten Thousand Buddhas in Talmage Ca. It was at this time in 1999 that he discovered the name The Ghost Kings in a Buddhist sutra "The Past lives of Earth Store Boddhissattva" which he used as the name for his Southern Rock project. Biedermann wrote upwards of 35 classic Southern rock / Country songs including "King Hobo Dirt Road Okie" and "Ghost Kings" with his musical partner, rhythm guitarist/vocalist "Scary" Eric Lagosh.
