Subject: RE: What are the best Vietnam era songs?
Southpaw South Vietnamese busker Vo Thuong* (RIP) accompanied schlocky bootleg karaoke cassettes on a righty guitar played upside down and backwards.
Quite serviceable instrumental covers of Jamaica Farewell; Yellow Bird and (or?) My Way won him an all-expenses paid “Re-Education” scholarship but he managed to catch a boat out of town one step ahead of John Law.
*Neither his real name nor even the correct alphabet but, loosely speaking… the Vietnamese Buddhist concept of “Impermanence.”
