About the Music
The Viet Nam war has been called “the
first rock ‘n’ roll war.” With that in mind, these songs
were written and produced to convey aspects of that war’s
effect upon those who fought there. The use of ‘60s
instruments, recording techniques, and music styles
intentionally captures the era, giving a musical voice to
Viet Nam veterans, and their families, everywhere. All songs
are copyright 1991 and 2005, published 1991 by Marc C.
Waszkiewicz and Lea Jones. |
