Here are some songs I sing. Almost all of them were written before 1975 in Vietnam or Cambodia. Some are more than 1,000 years old. Some I have recorded in super fancy studios. Some I sing in clubs and some on the street. I love them all and every one has a great story. Most have a tragic story regarding the history of this part of the world. The Cambodian singers, for example, were murdered by the Khmer Rouge.

This is a work in progress and will take a while to complete.

This was singing in a small club in the China Town section of Saigon (Chợ Lớn). Not too many years ago. People, as is the custom, brought me flowers with money in them.
