SELECTOR SWITCH ON (ROCK AND ROLL)
"...a top-quality CD of rootsy rock.... all about (being in-country)..."
Veteran Magazine, 2007
" My husband just grins when he listens to it. I would recommend this CD to everyone!" (see Reviews below)
‘When I first heard the nine-song compilation of Selector Switch On (Rock and Roll), and as a combat veteran of the Vietnam war, I was absolutely astounded by the profoundness of the lyrics and I was touched by the 60s-ish, familiar-sounding melodies. After playing them all several times, I turned to my wife and said: "If you want to learn something about me, listen to these songs." I think the wives, children and grandchildren of every Vietnam veteran should hear these tunes... particularly the track Changing of the Guard. And I know every Vietnam veteran who hears these songs will say the same thing I did: "There it is, man."’
Charles ‘Doc’ Newcomb, Navy Medic, TV Photojournalist & filmmaker
" A real in-country feel..." Veteran Magazine, 1993

Selector Switch on Rock and Roll
author: Dave Brown
The songs take me back to a point in my life where both high and low emotions intertwined daily, when the men I was with were making history, and how my life was shaped. I guard my emotional vault carefully and open the door to it selectively. If visitors come,they better hold their ears because this CD is playing on full "Rock and Roll".

The Reviews
author: Marc Waszkiewicz
I really appreciate all the great reviews you folks are leaving here. Thanks for taking the time... and sharing your feelings.
I have to agree with Edy T Johnson; my personal favorite song it "When I Had You" which is a song about a composite of two women in my life. Elayna was my highschool sweetheart and we were to marry... she was at my bootcamp graduation... but it was not to be. Secondly, Paulette and I became engaged and her letters kept me sane in Nam... until I finally got that dreaded "Dear John" letter from her. She was pregnant from someone else and partying down back home.... hence, the lyrics speak my heartbreak....
