Rarely are there happy songs in Vietnamese music. One could only imagine just how mind-boggling of a task it is for a Vietnamese singer to choose and come up with a list of happy songs to perform at a festive occasion such as a wedding or a birthday party. This endearing, playful tune would be one of the few happier Vietnamese songs. I had a chance to record my own version to this song when I was so graciously asked by my good friends and colleagues, Kha Tu and Phuong Hung, to participate on an album released by Kha Tu Productions many moons ago that was entitled Co Nang Mat Nai (The Girl with Eyes of Innocence). Lyrics to Tuoi Doi Muoi (At Age 20) were penned by songwriter Truong Huy. Every now and then when I listen to myself on this track, I'm shocked at just how young I had sounded and how my voice then still lacked quite a bit of maturity. Regardless, I still enjoy listening to this track. Let's just say, I get a real kick out of it.
