About the artist
Earl Loar is an American country and folk singer-songwriter based in Grove City, Ohio. By his own account, 'A Child I've Never Seen' - a Vietnam-era song about a soldier's unborn child - was recorded and released in Nashville, Tennessee during the Vietnam era, and his patriotic 'One Flag of Freedom', originally written for the Vietnam era, was later revised after the September 11 attacks.
