One thing I love is Rock and Roll and one thing I hate is war...and sometimes in history the two have collided.

I knew what was going on in Southeast Asia from the 1960's into the 1970's, but it took for me into the 1990's before
I could realize even more of the depth of loss that the wars brought upon the people's of Cambodia.

I heard a couple songs on a local College radio station played from a bootleg tape of Rock and Roll from Cambodia from
before their war years. I was amazed.

And so was a television and movie cameraman by the name John Pirozzi. His decade long labor of love has brought
the story of this music, these talented and proud musicians to the screen.

The Mr. and I will be there...
