| This genre of American music did not really exist before the Vietnam War. It was created mostly by Vietnam War veterans and almost all has been self-produced. This is the first attempt to put most of it in one place and make it accessible to all. John Trudell is a Vietnam-era Navy Veteran and original member of the American Indian Movement (AIM) His music is not specifically about war but always comes from a "warriors" heart and deals often with conflict. I consider him one of the greatest poets of the Vietnam War era. His work and information about him may be found at http://www.johntrudell.com. Copies of actual Radio Hanoi broadcasts "...to American soldiers involved in the war in Vietnam", featuring reporters Thu Houng, better known as "Hanoi Hannah," and Van Tung, are available from the Vietnam Veterans Radio Network. For a catalog containing 68 separate entries of Radio Hanoi, and Radio Peking, broadcasts, recorded between 1964 and 1971, send a self-addressed and stamped (58 cents) envelope plus $1.00 (for printing), or just a buck-fifty- eight, to: VVRN, 7807 N. Avalon, K.C., MO 64152. More info. Find more information on Lydia Fish's Songs of Americans in the Vietnam War site. Thanks to Bill Anchors for his contribution.

20 YEARS OF TEARS
Larry Barkmeyer
20 YEARS OF TEARS portrays the life of a combat veteran throughout the war and the years that followed. This musical journey is an honest look into the struggles, stress and emotional scars left from the Vietnam experience. Post-traumatic Stress Disorder plagues the lives of thousands of war vets and their families in this country and the world abroad. My desire is to bring some healing for those that are still suffering, understanding for those with questions, and an avenue of expression for those who have not been able to convey their feelings or tell their story. Larry Barkemeyer, Vietnam 1970-71. Musicians: Larry Barkemeyer, Paul Hobbs, Jeff Boyle, Chris Walters, Bob Crow, Greg Buller, John Hobbs, Mark Hazzard , Michael Tracey, Jim Reinking, Phil Thomas, Sue Hobbs, Linda Dockery. All songs written and arranged by Larry Barkemeyer. Recorde and mixed at Woodshed Recoding Studio, LDB Productions, Bark Moss Enterprises, Inc. PO Box 505, Cottage Grove, Oregon 97424.
