You've all seen that photo of my assortment of musical instruments. About a year ago, I put a few of them to good use and wrote, arranged, sang, and produced an original song as a tribute to all the Vietnam Veterans (in keeping with sort of a C&V theme)


I was all of about 7 or 8 years old during the heyday of Vietnam and two of my brother-in-law's were over there in the late 60's & 1970. I wrote the song from the heart from a little kids perspective after hearing all the stuff they talked about after they came back, and after remembering Walter Cronkite on the TV giving news reports every night too.

Drums = hand written percussion track, using Finale on my laptop (My wife won't let me have a real drumset in the house)
Bass = Me
Rhythm guitar = Me
Keyboards (organ mode) = Me
Trumpet = Me
Trombone = Me
Lead vocals = Me
Upper harmony (falsetto like the Bee Gee's) = Me
Lead guitar wah-wah solo = Me (done on the fly, in one take!)
