Sibtham,

It is a good song and thanks for sharing with us.

If you used to live in France, do you know my best friend Thej Yaj?
He used to live in Toulouse, France and then moved to somewhere in
California in 1983? I don't know where is he now?

Here is my favorite song. I listened to it when I dated my Caucasian
girl and a Hmong girl in Sheboygan, Wisconsin in 1978 and it was very
hard to make a decision on that time. It is torn between two lovers.
