Annotation

Susan Graham White, a singer/songwriter, released the song "Facing the Wall" (1) - this was recorded at the Lion & Fox Recording Studios in Washington D.C., USA. She released a few albums in the 1990s, before retiring from music to focus on her career as an equestrian rider, trainer, and judge, in Maryland, USA. She released some new material in the 2000s. Pete Kennedy featured on this album, playing electric guitar and bass on several tracks (he released his own Vietnam War song in 1987: 19 in Vietnam). The narrator recalled visiting the memorial wall in DC, finding her loved one: "I know the panel and the line to find your name again". She described the death as a "tragedy in Vietnam" and that it was "a war we'd never understand". This song featured on the 1992 compilation Songs of the Wall, above.

About the artist

Unknown - no admissible source documents the artist behind "Facing The Wall". The contemporary Maryland/DC-area folk singer-songwriter Susan Graham White (19 releases, 1988-2014, also a professional dressage judge) was checked and her documented discography contains no such title and no Vietnam Memorial material, so her biography is NOT assigned. The recording's existence is confirmed only by an inadmissible upload. [Source: Discogs artist-discography check]
