A little more info might be helpful. Did you mean you found them, here, at the Mudcat? HERE is one thread with a lot of songs included. Also, if you put "Vietnam" in the blank box above the thread titles on the main forum page, then use the drop down menu to set the date back to "All," you will find several other threads about songs from that era.

Hope this helps,

Dick Jonas [Google him] has a number of CD's of music from the Viet Nam War, and other more recent events, and even has a couple of books with the words to all of these songs, so we don't have to try to write them down while listening to the tune. These books are available on Amazon, and some of his CD's may be as well. They may not be polite, but they are heartfelt!

Vietnam era music- do you mean composed at the time of the Vietnam War, or popular at that time? Composed at that time would include all the parodies of songs from the Civil War to WW2 and Korean war, etc., as well as the tin pan alley and Nashville stuff, etc., a very large number, to emphasize what could have been left unsaid. The latter would be a very, very large number, to emphasize what could have been left unsaid.

So- specifically what?
