In America, the most famous Vietnamese music show is Paris by night hosted by Thuy Nga Entertainment Center. Paris by night is the music show that performed by Vietnamese pop singers and comedians. I have been in USA for 4 years but the first time I had a chance to attend Paris by night show was last year. It was Paris by night 104 at Las Vegas. The concert was performed Theater for the Performing Arts (Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino), 3667 Las Vegas Boulevard South, in 2 days September 3 and September 4 at 7:30 pm. I attended the first day of the concert. There were 14 songs and one comedy performed in the first day. Most of songs were love songs such as Goi Ten em Moi Ngay, Ve Day Nghe em, Muoi Nam Yeu em…. There were also some songs about family like Vong Co Thieng Lieng Tinh Me, and love of country: Ve Lai Pho Xua. These songs are written by some famous Vietnamese composers such as Vo Hoai Phuc, Tram Tu Lien, Tran Quang Loc, Tien Minh, Hoai An. There were three songs that I love most in this concert: Vong Co Thieng Lieng Tinh Me by Huong Giang - Huong Thuy, Noi Tinh Yeu Bat Dau by Bang Kieu – Lam Anh, and Ve Day Nghe Em by Khanh Ly – Nguyen Ngoc Ngan.
The concert began with the piece of songs about family. The song Vong Co Thieng Lieng Tinh Me was written by Vien Chau and performed by Huong Giang – Huong Thuy is a wonderful folk song about the love of mother to her daughter.

She may don’t eat anything for whole day to save money to buy milk for her daughter. She works really hard for her daughter to go to school. She knows that good education is only way for her daughter to have a better life. The things that make this song succeed were the traditional Vietnamese instruments: Dan Nhi (2 strings Fiddle) and Dan Nguyet (2 Strings Guitar). These two
