Great video I just sat and watched drinking my coffee this morning, a very touching story, it's a hard life being a musician. I got to give it to her husband, he really knows how to promote his band, does he do the videos? I really dig their music, I've showed a couple of my friends their youtube videos.

Are those King Sihanouk movies available? I love 60's movies.

I was a musician in what feels like a former life, started playing in bars when I was 16-17(no one played bass back then lol) toured the Eastern half of US in a van stuffed with equipment and 4 guys back in the late 80's-90's, good times but some rough times, gave up the starving musician lifestyle to sell my soul starting a business. I miss playing live that was what I was in it for, one day I'll get back to playing if my arms aren't shot out.

i loved the conversation between the two, great insight into a relationship between a country girl and a Barang and how they both felt let down.

There are quite a few around, but I've never been able to find any with decent quality. The ones on Youtube seem to be all uploaded from crappy VCDs.


This one is great, just for the views of Bokor in its heyday alone:


His films are strange, they usually show a very clean Cambodia with beautiful villas, Cadillacs etc. The pace and direction is often baffling, they are quite unique. 8-)
Silence, exile, and cunning.
