"Doomsday" was contracted with a private corporation that was contracted with the Commercial Entertainment Branch of the US Military Assistance Command Vietnam (MACV) Special Services.  Unlike the USO shows that were "escorted", we were essentially on our own for meals, lodging, transportation, etc.  Since we were Americans and especially since we had the ladies with us, there did not seem to be anything that we could not get and we certainly were never without company.  One of the big problems we did encounter was the occasional GI we would meet who would go AWOL and follow us as we toured.  We spent many hours convincing them to return to their units.  We played shows from just short of the DMZ in the north to Soc Trang way down south in the Delta.  We traveled by every imaginable means of transportation, performed at some of the most unlikely venues, and had the pleasure of performing for thousands of US, Australian, and Vietnamese military and civilians.  We could not have found better, more enthusiastic audiences anywhere on earth.  The time we all spent among the men and women who served in Vietnam will be cherished always.

After many months of constant touring within Vietnam, we arrived at the same conclusion most of the GI's had already come to - "We Gotta Get Out of This Place" - at least for a while.  After leaving Vietnam, we traveled to Bangkok, Thailand where we were the first act to play the new, just opening, night club "The Tug".  After arriving there we were joined by guitar player and singer, Terry Thaddeus and spent many months playing 7 nights a week.  We were thrilled by the occasional visit by GI's we had met in Vietnam who were in Bangkok for R&R.
