    Episode 155: Vietnam War: The Music - Jody's Got Your Cadillac

    Play Episode Listen Later Sep 3, 2021 115:59


    Our goal with The Vietnam War: The Music is to honor the fallen and the survivors with the music that got them through “just one more day”. Our shows are broadcast around the world. They say thank you & “welcome home” to all Vietnam Vets. ***** As we close season three, the theme is centered around a military cadence call, “Jody's Got Your Cadillac”. Cadences are used by soldiers during marching or running maneuvers. They are sometimes called “jody calls” or “jodies”, after Jody, a recurring character who figures in many traditional cadences; Jody refers to the man with whom a serviceman's wife/girlfriend cheats while he is deployed. Jody stays back home, drives the soldier's car, and gets the soldier's sweetheart while the soldier is stationed elsewhere. ******  ***** In this episode you'll hear two songs, by soldiers who served there. ******** One is Saigon Warrior by Saul Broudy (lead) & Robin Thomas (back-up vocal) **** SAIGON WARRIOR is a military folksong about rear echelon personnel. It descended from a British Army World War I song entitled "The Lousy Lance-Corporal." It circulated widely in Southeast Asia in both Army and Air Force tradition. *****SAUL BROUDY served as a platoon leader, in the 96th Quartermaster Battalion, 1st Logistical Command, at Phan Rang, 1966-1967. *****The second song, GRUNT, was written & performed by in-country soldier Bill Ellis. This song is a detailed description of the "little things that mean a lot" in the daily life of the combat infantryman—mail from home, a drink of cool water, sharing what you have with your buddies. ***** BILL ELLIS was drafted out of a rock band in San Francisco in 1968. He became known as the "singing rifleman" of the First Cavalry Division. In March, 1969, he was pulled from field duty as a rifleman with A Company, 1st Battalion, Fifth Cavalry, and reassigned to Special Services. He toured the Cav area of operations, performing for grunts on the fire support bases. ***** Both are available on the CD “In Country: Folk Songs of Americans in the Vietnam War” (Rounder Records, https://store.rounder.com/) - - - - - - For a look at in-country soldier musicians, watch the video at: ***https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0mLgkMqt_Bw-----Join the conversation on Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100008232395712    ------ or by email at dannymemorylane@gmail.com   ------ In this episode, you'll hear: -- 1)     Every Picture Tells a Story by Rod Stewart2)     Drive My Car by The Beatles3)     Welcome Home by Country Joe McDonald4)     Wanted (A Solid Gold Cadillac) by The Aquatones (w/ Lynne Nixon, vocals)5)     Who's Making Love by Johnnie Taylor6)     A Letter From Sherry by Dale Ward7)     Hoochie Coochie Man by The Allman Brothers Band8)     Wild One by BR5-499)     Saigon Warrior by Saul Broudy (lead) & Robin Thomas10) Bitch by The Rolling Stones11) Long Live Our Love by The Shangri-Las12) Kentucky Rain by Elvis Presley13) Have You Seen Her by The Chi-Lites14) When a Man Loves a Woman by Wolfman Jack15) You Can Have Her by The Righteous Brothers16) I Put A Spell On You by Creedence Clearwater Revival17) Please Mr. D.J. by Merle Haggard18) Stoned At The Jukebox by Hank Williams Jr.19) Requiem For The Masses by The Association20) The Devil Went Down To Georgia by The Charlie Daniels Band21) Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da by The Beatles22) Grunt by Bill Ellis23) Come See About Me by Junior Walker & The All Stars24) L.A.

    There are some expressions that have worked their way into our daily conversations. Words like social-distancing, contact tracing, curbside pickup, Zoom meetings, no contact service. On and on it goes. Our world will never be the same. We have also learned a new appreciation for those we call “essential workers.” They are the front line workers who don't get Holidays like the rest of us. They work while we sleep. They are fellow human beings that we often take for granted. They are mostly invisible, until we need them. They deserve our respect and profound thanks. This music is about them, and for them. “Thank you” to all the everyday heroes, the ESSENTIALS. Our angels. *****Join the conversation on Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100008232395712**** or by email at dannymemorylane@gmail.com**** In this episode you'll hear:1)     Land Of Hope And Dreams by Bruce Springsteen2)     American Soldier by Toby Keith3)     One of the Good Guys by Aaron Tippin4)     Hero In Your Own Hometown by Mary Chapin Carpenter5)     Allentown by Billy Joel6)     A Month Of Sundays by Don Henley7)     Salt Of The Earth by The Rolling Stones8)     9 To 5 by Dolly Parton9)     Working Girl by The Members10) 40 Hour Week (For A Livin') by Alabama11) Little Man by Alan Jackson12) Mr. President (Have Pity On The Working Man) by Randy Newman13) Morning Train (Nine To Five) by Sheena Easton14) Workin' For The Man by Roy Orbison15) Hard Workin' Man by Brooks & Dunn16) Teacher Teacher by Rockpile17) Salute to the Nurses by Staff Sgt.

    Episode 152: Vietnam War: The Music - Stateside Top 40 Week of Apr 30, 1975 (Our Salute to AFVN)

    Vietnam War: The Music presents a salute to the American Forces Vietnam Network. AFVN was created as a morale-boosting military radio station for servicemen and women in Vietnam. AFVN broadcast 24 hours a day, seven days a week for over 10 years; it began broadcasting on August 15, 1962, and ended in March of 1973. At the height of American involvement in the war, Armed Forces Vietnam Network served more than 500,000 fighting men and women at one time. AFVN was a forum for news, comedy, and entertainment for the soldiers during the Vietnam War. Perhaps the best-known radio program became the morning "Dawn Buster" program, thanks to the popularity of the sign-on slogan "Gooooood Morning, Vietnam" (which was initiated by Adrian Cronauer and later became the basis for the film Good Morning, Vietnam starring Robin Williams). Among the notable people who were AFVN disc jockeys were Paul Bottoms, Don L. "Scotty" Brink, Pat Sajak, and Denny Woytek. Besides AFVN radio from AFRTS, there were GI-operated underground (pirate) radio stations, usually direct from a soldier's hooch. These stations usually played free-form and progressive rock music. One of the regular shows featuring the top hits of the moment “back in the world” was The Stateside Top 40. Many of these songs will have a special meaning for you. A place, a brother, a time gone by. This program is for you, the Vietnam Vets, who will never forget.Our goal with The Vietnam War: The Music is to honor the fallen and the survivors with the music that got them through “just one more day”.

    The vocal harmony group tradition, known as Doo Wop, developed in the post-World War II era. It was the most popular form of rhythm and blues music among black teenagers, especially those living in the large urban centers of the eastern coast, in Chicago, and in Detroit. To those of us kids who were color-blind, it was just cool music coming from our transistor radios. That was the beauty of radio. Music wasn't defined by a color, just by the beat and the mood you felt deep in your soul. Many groups specialized in romantic ballads that appealed to the sexual fantasies of teenagers in the late 1940s and early 1950s. By the mid-1950s, vocal harmony groups had transformed the smooth delivery of ballads into a performance style incorporating the nonsense phrase, “Doo Wop-Doo Wop” as vocalized by the bass singers, who provided rhythmic movement for an a cappella song style.In this episode you'll hear:1)     Why Do Fools Fall In Love by Frankie Lymon and The Teenagers2)     Anna Mae by The Aquatones (the pride of Valley Stream, Long Island)3)     On Broadway by The Drifters (with Rudy Lewis, lead vocal; and young Phil Spector, lead guitar)4)     Dance Girl Dance by Norman Fox & the Rob Roys5)     Pennies From Heaven by The Skyliners6)     Ka-Ding Dong by The G-Clefs (Boston Group)7)     You Belong To Me by The Duprees8)     Gum Drop by Otis Williams & The Charms9)     Tears on My Pillow by Little Anthony & The Imperials10) A Teenager In Love by Dion & The Belmonts11) Leave My Kitten Alone by Little Willie John12) Look Homeward Angel by The Monarchs (with Mike Gibson, falsetto)13) My Juanita by The Crests14) Only You (And You Alone) by The Platters15) Please Tell the Angels by Lewis Lymon & The Teenchords16) My Girl by The Fireflies17) A Tear Fell by The Demensions (from The Bronx)18) Nobody Loves Me Like You by The Flamingos19) Crazy For You by The Heartbeats (with James "Shep" Sheppard, lead vocal)20) I Knew From The Start by The Moonglows21) Close Your Eyes by The Five Keys (with Rudy West, lead)22) B'wa Nina (Pretty Girl) by The Tokens23) Time And Again by The Velvets (with Virgil Johnson)24) Daddy's Home by Shep & The Limelights25) Goodnight, Sweetheart, Goodnight (Well It's Time To Go) by The Spaniels

They held "practice" reunions in Thailand and the United States until the POW's came home in 1973, when the first real reunion was held.

    Highway 61 (US 61) is a major highway which extends 1,400 miles (2,300 km) between New Orleans, Louisiana and the city of Wyoming, Minnesota. The highway is often called the Blues Highway because of its long history with the Blues genre. A notable song named for the highway was the 1981 song, "61 Highway", by bluesman James "Son" Thomas. Highway 61 later gave its name to Minnesota native Bob Dylan's album Highway 61 Revisited and to the song of the same name. The junction of US 61 and U.S. 49 in Clarksdale (see our picture) is designated as the famous crossroads where, according to legend, Robert Johnson supposedly sold his soul to the Devil in exchange for mastery of the blues. It was on this stretch of highway that blues singer Bessie Smith died as a result of a car accident on September 26, 1937.Join the conversation on Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100008232395712 ****** or by email at dannymemorylane@gmail.com**** You'll hear:1)     The Party's Still Going On by Marcia Ball2)     Down The Road Apiece by The Rolling Stones3)     Born In Chicago by Paul Butterfield Blues Band4)     Change It by Stevie Ray Vaughan5)     Nothing Takes The Place Of You by Marva Wright6)     Rockin' Pneumonia by Professor Longhair7)     Going Home (Where The Women Got Meat On Their Bones) by Son Seals8)     New York City Blues by The Yardbirds (with Jeff Beck)9)     Strawdogs (Before The Fall) by Terrell10) Lonely Avenue by Ray Charles11) Backup Plan by Tommy Castro12) Too Many Myths by Van Morrison13) Voodoo Music by Los Lobos14) Speak No Evil by Tinsley Ellis15) Hoochie Coochie Man by Muddy Waters16) I'm The Fixer by Willie Mabon17) Blues Lover by Steady Rollin' Bob Margolin

    "Swing dance" is a group of dances that developed with the swing style of jazz music in the 1920s-1950s, the origin of the dances predating popular "swing era" music. The most well-known of these dances is Lindy Hop, a fusion of jazz, tap, breakaway, and Charleston, which originated in Harlem in the early 1920s, but includes a number of other styles such as Balboa, Shag, West Coast Swing, and Boogie Woogie. “Sunday Swing” highlights the music of the swing era and the dances that thrived in the ballrooms and dance halls. Danny Lane guides you through a one hour swing session. Do the Lindy Hop or choose your favorite dance.

    Welcome home. And welcome back to The Music Museum. This exhibit is called The Vietnam War: The Music. Our mission here at the Music Museum is to support all Vietnam Veterans and those who serve the United States, then and now. We thank you for your service.This project started with a story I saw on TV in 2018, a story about a soldier, a 23-year-old Army helicopter sniper, who served in the Vietnam War. Before Christmas 1970, he received a Christmas card from a sixth-grader he didn't know. It had a simple message: "Thank you." He said it helped him get through the war. Over the years, he prized the letter and wondered what happened to the little girl who wrote it.That got me thinking about a letter that I received in 1968 from a soldier serving in Vietnam. I was a disc jockey in Manchester NH playing the hits every night. In July of that year, I got a letter from the soldier requesting that I play three songs dedicated to his girlfriend who was attending college in the area. I played the songs, and that was that. But I saved that letter for 50 years and in 2018, I started to wonder what had happened to that soldier. I tried to locate him, but, so far, I haven't made contact. The search however continues.Our goal with The Vietnam War: The Music is to honor the fallen and the survivors with the music that got them through “just one more day”. Our shows are broadcast around the world. They say thank you & “welcome home” to all Vietnam Vets. There is no opinion offered on that War. It's all about the music.As a tribute to your service and your sacrifice, this is The Vietnam War: The Music.This episode is called “From The Delta To The DMZ”Join the conversation:Join the conversation on Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100008232395712or by email at dannymemorylane@gmail.comYou'll hear:1)     Delta Lady by Joe Cocker2)     Break On Through (To The Other Side) by The Doors3)     Letters From Home by The Cowboy Band4)     Welcome Home by Country Joe McDonald5)     Up Around the Bend by Creedence Clearwater Revival6)     Shop Around by The Miracles (w/ Smokey Robinson)7)     Wasted Days And Wasted Nights by Freddy Fender8)     Starman by David Bowie9)     For What It's Worth by Buffalo Springfield10) Till The Last Shot's Fired by Trace Adkins11) The Cisco Kid by War12) First Cav by Bill Ellis13) I Should Have Known Better by The Beatles14) Note To The Unknown Soldier by Five For Fighting15) Maggie May by Rod Stewart16) East Bound And Down by Jerry Reed17) Since You've Been Gone by Aretha Franklin18) Get Together by Jefferson Airplane19) Everybody by Tommy Roe20) We Gotta Get Out Of This Place by The Animals21) Like A Soldier by Johnny Cash22) Move Over by Janis Joplin23) Red House by The Jimi Hendrix Experience24) The Widowing Field by Jars of Clay25) Tennessee Whiskey by George Jones26) Get Up (I Feel Like Being A) Sex Machine by James Brown27) American Woman by The Guess Who28) Green, Green Grass Of Home by Porter Wagoner29) I Can't Explain by The Who30) Soul Sacrifice by Santana31) How I Got To Memphis by Bobby Bare32) The Last Time by The Rolling Stones33) Soldier's Last Letter by Merle Haggard & The Strangers34) Green River by Creedence Clearwater Revival35) The Side of a Hill by Paul Simon36) Sgt.

    The LP record (from "long playing" or "long play") is a phonograph record format characterized by a speed of 33 1⁄3 rpm, having a 12- or 10-inch (30- or 25-cm) diameter, and uses the "microgroove" groove specification. Introduced by Columbia in 1948, it was soon adopted as a new standard by the entire record industry. The new product was a 12- or 10-inch (30 or 25 cm) fine-grooved disc made of PVC ("vinyl") and played with a smaller-tipped "microgroove" stylus at a speed of 33 1⁄3 rpm. Each side of a 12-inch LP could play for about 22 minutes. The average LP has about 1,500 feet (460 m; 0.28 mi) of groove on each side. The average tangential needle speed relative to the disc surface is approximately 1 mile per hour (1.6 km/h; 0.45 m/s). It travels fastest on the outside edge. - - - An LP record is one, long, groove, filled with music. But, in reality, it is “Just A Groove”, an album oriented groove.

At the pizza shop (for me it was Tony & Ann's), the ice cream stand (Doc Davis'), and the soda fountain (The Rexall). We spent a lot of nickels, dimes, and quarters. Jukeboxes, and the songs we played, sent a message to our friends and the world, “These are the songs we love”.

This program is for you, the Vietnam Vets, who will never forget.Homemade Vietnam Music: Every war or armed conflict has been a spawning ground for barracks songs or ballads of the fighting soldiers. Many Vietnam vets made the music themselves, such as: Chip Dockery, Dick Jonas, and Bull Durham. Their music became homemade memories, by Vietnam troubadours.This episode contains 2 songs recorded by Vietnam servicemen:  1) Cobra Seven by Toby Hughes (lead), Chuck Rosenberg, Saul Broudy, Tom Price & Robin Thomas **** COBRA SEVEN (and FACs) Forward air controllers were the airborne directors of strikes against ground targets; they spotted targets and then helped attacking aircraft locate them. Flying low and slow in their tiny planes, the FACs were the eyes and ears of the fighter pilots. This song by Toby Hughes tells the story of a FAC with the call sign Cobra Seven who, while flying his daily patrol in Three Corps, sees a Huey (UH-1 helicopter) shot down. He gives his life standing off the Viet Cong with white phosphorus rockets and M-16 fire while another helicopter rescues the crew of the downed chopper.2) Peacemaker by Bull Durham (aka James P. "Bull" Durham)JAMES PATTERSON ("BULL") DURHAM (guitar) Bull Durham, a veteran of the Korean War, served with the 362nd Tactical Electronic Warfare Squadron at Pleiku, 1969-1970, and in his own words, "flew 175 missions in a magnificent Gooney Bird (EC-47)—1942 vintage—older than my co-pilot." Our mission here at the Music Museum is to support all Vietnam Veterans and those who serve the United States, then and now.

    “Your Hit Parade” was an American radio and television music program that was broadcast from 1935 to 1959. It was sponsored by American Tobacco's Lucky Strike cigarettes. During this 24-year run, the show had 19 orchestra leaders and 52 singers or groups.Not surprisingly, listeners were informed that the "Your Hit Parade survey checks the best sellers on sheet music and phonograph records, the songs most heard on the air and most played on the automatic coin machines, an accurate, authentic tabulation of America's taste in popular music." However, the exact procedure of this "authentic tabulation" remained a secret. Here are 21 hits from 1950.

    Episode 119: Vietnam War: The Music of China Beach – Season 1

    The TV show's title and setting refers to My Khe beach in the city of Đà Nẵng, Vietnam. The actual beach was nicknamed "China Beach" in English by American and Australian soldiers during the Vietnam War. The series looks at the Vietnam War from unique perspectives: those of the women, both military personnel and civilians, who were present during the conflict. The series' cast portrayed US Army doctors and nurses, officers, soldiers, Red Cross volunteers, and civilian personnel (American, French, and Vietnamese). In reality, some 10,000 women served in country. Three Red Cross women, eight Military women and an unknown number of American civilian women died in Vietnam. Many more were wounded. Also, during the Vietnam War, 402 American medics were killed in the service of their country. **** The show was partly inspired by the book, “Home Before Morning” (The Story of an Army Nurse in Vietnam) [1983] by Lynda Van Devanter (1947-2002). The TV show consisted of a 2-hour Pilot show followed by 61 episodes over four seasons (1988-1991). The focal point was the 510th Evacuation Hospital, referred to as “The Five and Dime” E.V.A.C. hospital. The club at the Five and Dime was called The Jet Set. Diane Keaton and Gary Sinese, each directed episodes. **** The show's main theme song was "Reflections" by Diana Ross & the Supremes. Two episodes [Season 3, Episode 19 and Season 3 Episode 22] used "We Gotta Get out of This Place" by Katrina & The Waves with Eric Burdon either as the theme or within the plot. **** The show's dedication reads:“To the Vietnam Veterans, especially the women who served, with thanks and respect. China Beach, the TV series, portrayed the cost of the Vietnam War. It helped us heal while remembering the sacrifices of the young women and men who fought there. You will never be forgotten.” **** Dana Delany (McMurphy) was involved with the Vietnam Woman's Memorial Project, which built the monument in Washington D.C. next to the Vietnam Veterans Memorial. It was dedicated in 1993. Delany has become something of a heroine to the nurses who served in Vietnam. **** These are the songs we heard during Season 1.You'll hear:1) Reflections (China Beach version) – The Supremes2) (Love Is Like A) Heatwave – Martha & The Vandellas3) How Sweet It Is – Marvin Gaye4) Cloud Nine – The Temptations5) Dedicated To The One I Love – The Mamas & The Papas6) Standing In the Shadows of Love – The Four Tops7) Soldier Boy – The Shirelles (In the episode it was actually sung by Laurette for the 1940s Night)8) Going to A Go-Go – The Miracles9) (You Make Me Feel Like a) Natural Woman – Aretha Franklin10) Big Girls Don't Cry – The Four Seasons11) Cool Jerk – The Capitals12) Don't Think Twice It's Alright – Joan Baez13) Yes, I'm Ready – Barbara Mason14) Stay – Maurice Williams & The Zodiacs15) Back in My Arms Again – The Supremes16) Reach Out I'll Be There – The Four Tops17) Sugar Town – Nancy Sinatra18) I Heard It Through the Grapevine – Gladys Night & The Pips19) It Takes Two - Marvin Gaye & Kim Weston20) I Was Made To Love Her – Stevie Wonder21) I'm Sorry – Brenda Lee22) The Tracks of My Tears – Smokey Robinson & The Miracles23) Boom Boom – The Animals24) Mama Said – The Shirelles (the girls in the bunker)25) Pipeline – The Chantays26) I Can't Help Myself – The Four Tops27) Windy – The Association28) Sympathy For The Devil – The Rolling Stones29) You Can't Hurry Love – The Supremes30) The Letter – The Boxtops31) These Boots Are Made For Walkin' – Nancy Sinatra32) I Second That Emotion – Smokey Robinson & The Miracles33) Monday, Monday – The Mamas & The Papas34) Nowhere To Run – Martha & The Vandellas35) Stand By Me – Ben E.

    This is a recreation of the concert called … “The T.A.M.I. Show”. **** T.A.M.I. stands for Teenage Awards Music International. **** On October 28 and 29, 1964, an independent film production company staged a concert at the Civic Auditorium in Santa Monica, CA. It featured an amazing collection of the current and most popular recording artists among teenagers: The Supremes, James Brown, and the Beach Boys. And since the “British Invasion” was in full swing, the list of performers included a number of acts from Britain, including Gerry & The Pacemakers and The Rolling Stones. Free tickets were distributed to local high school students. **** The best footage from each of the two concert-dates was edited into the film, which was released on December 29, 1964 … using technology called Electronovision and only in Black & White. There were go-go dancers, girls & boys, both black & white, performing in the background and beside the performers. There were Brits and Americans, stars and supporting acts, black and white performers, young-and-old-concertgoers. Brought together as one, in the same auditorium, bonded by rock & roll music. It was NO problem. The T.A.M.I. Show continues to be regarded as one of the best rock & roll concert-movies ever made. **** What you're about to hear, as a special presentation from The Danny Lane Music Museum, is a re-creation of that concert with the original songs from the exact same set-list. **** Jan & Dean hosted the concert and performed the show's theme song ….

    Welcome home. And welcome back to The Music Museum. This exhibit is called The Vietnam War: The Music. Our mission here at the Music Museum is to support all Vietnam Veterans and those who serve the United States, then and now. We thank you for your service. This project started with a story I saw on TV in 2018, a story about a soldier, a 23-year-old Army helicopter sniper, who served in the Vietnam War. Before Christmas 1970, he received a Christmas card from a sixth-grader he didn't know. It had a simple message: "Thank you." He said it helped him get through the war. Over the years, he prized the letter and wondered what happened to the little girl who wrote it. That got me thinking about a letter that I received in 1968 from a soldier serving in Vietnam. I was a disc jockey in Manchester NH playing the hits every night. In July of that year, I got a letter from the soldier requesting that I play three songs dedicated to his girlfriend who was attending college in the area. I played the songs, and that was that. But I saved that letter for 50 years and in 2018, I started to wonder what had happened to that soldier. I tried to locate him, but, so far, I haven’t made contact. The search however continues. In the meantime, a Podcast was born. It’s called Vietnam War: The Music.

During the 1940s and 1950s, popular singles were ranked on three significant charts: • Best Sellers in Stores • Most Played by Jockeys • Most Played in Jukeboxes On June 17, 1957, Billboard discontinued the Most Played in Jukeboxes chart, as the popularity of jukeboxes waned and radio stations incorporated more and more rock-oriented music into their playlists. The week ending July 28, 1958 was the final publication of the Most Played By Jockeys. On August 4, 1958, Billboard premiered one main all-genre singles chart: the Hot 100. The Hot 100 quickly became the industry standard and Billboard discontinued the Best Sellers In Stores chart on October 13, 1958. The Billboard Hot 100 is still the standard by which a song's popularity is measured in the United States. The Hot 100 is ranked by radio airplay audience impressions as measured by Nielsen, sales data compiled by Nielsen (both at retail and digitally) and streaming activity provided by online music sources.

    I’m Danny Lane, the curator of The Music Museum. This exhibit is called Vietnam War: The Music. Our mission is to support all Vietnam Veterans and those who serve the United States, then and now. We thank you for your service. Early-on, in Vietnam, soldiers turned to music as a lifeline to the home front they’d promised to defend. Rock & roll (R&R) really became rest & relaxation (R&R) for the troops. It was this music that got you through another day, another day closer to going home. Music was a big part of a soldier’s down time that centered within the hooches of Vietnam. The music that was popular during the Vietnam War was, and is still, therapy. There are songs you can remember, and then there are songs you REALLY remember. Many of these songs will have a special meaning for you. A place, a brother, a time gone by. This program is for you, the Vietnam Vets, who will never forget. Our goal with Vietnam War: The Music is to honor the fallen and the survivors with the music that got them through “just one more day”. Our shows are broadcast around the world. They say thank you & “welcome home” to all Vietnam Vets. There is no opinion offered on the War. It’s all about the music. For your service and your sacrifice, this is Vietnam War: The Music.
