Spider,
I know the Thej Yaj who used to live in Bordeaux. I am not sure if
there was a Thej Yaj living in Toulouse.
Thej Yaj is a good friend of mine. In the mid 80, we hanged out
together. The last time I met
him was in the 90 in California. Since then life moved on and I lost
contact with him and other friends. Hopefully
he see this message. I'll be glad to enjoy with like the old days.
I like your song too.
Well since we are at this, this lao song is beautifully performed by a
Thai singer, Orawee.
