Annotation — Christmas Songs
The largely spoken-word track "Merry Christmas Viet Nam" (Mid-State Records # 1002), narrated by a mother in the US, recalling past wars - World War One, the Korean War - and memories of her son, who fought "in Vietnam" on "Christmas eve, for freedom", fighting against "communism in foreign lands". She prayed "for peace and happiness and freedom everywhere". Thus another patriotic Christmas track. Released on a small record label in Murfreesboro, Tennessee, by Liza Jane Taylor.
