Dear Friends, Back home again after a month in Vietnam - the first time there since 1970 when I was an Interpreter in what has become known as The American War.
Some you may recall that on April 24th I conducted a concert here in Ballarat in which I sang a Vietnamese song for which I'd arranged choral backing. The music for this song (Toi Dua Em Sang Song) was given to me on my 22nd birthday at Nui Dat by a Vietnamese Sergeant with whom I worked. While I was on a 2 day tour of one of the most beautiful places on Earth (Ha Long Bay) about half way between Hanoi and China, I got to sing this song again. This time with Vietnamese backing from the crew of our Junk as well as a Karaoke machine. If you're interested and would like to hear how it really should be sung, go to this website for a lovely version. <http://mp3.zing.vn/mp3/nghe-bai-hat/Toi-Dua-Em-Sang-Song-Vu-Khanh.IWZABBFW.html>http://mp3.zing.vn/mp3/nghe-bai-hat/Toi-Dua-Em-Sang-Song-Vu-Khanh.IWZABBFW.html It is also worth googling "Ha Long Bay" to see some magnificent pictures.
