United States Air Force - Base Honor Guard

- Vietnam era Veterans - 

17 year old, Lyle K'ang carries the American Flag in honor of our fallen 

war heroes. 

 

These honor guard members served in the U.S. Air Force during the Vietnam War years. Lyle served for six years in the USAF and later for another seven years in the National Guard and Army Guard. He was a member of the base's elite honor guard which traveled more and more across the state of Idaho to bury it's war dead. Later he was called to train and call 'drill team' cadence as they marched through Cities.

 

 

Each one of them knew first-hand what it was to grieve so heavily. Several members took turns acting as pall bearers, performing the 21-gun salute and presenting the 'colors' to grieving families for several years.

 

One of Lyle's featured songs, 'Little Boy Joe' on his debut album: 

 

BEFORE 3003

PEACE AND TRANQUILITY

 

is about 'flag-draped coffins' and what it really stands for.

A BROADWAY MUSICAL PRODUCTION:

BILLED AS 

'AMERICA'S #1 ROCK-N-ROLL MUSICAL' 

IN LAS VEGAS...

 

Lyle K'ang WAS Claude from 1969 - 1972. He was chosen in Honolulu to be the lead in the original Hawai'i show (Pakalolo Tribe), which later became the Las Vegas cast. After a one-year run at the International Hilton, Lyle joined the Mercury, then Venus touring companies, playing to hundreds of thousands of emotionally-charged audiences in large and medium-sized cities and towns throughout the US and in Canada. It was in Niles, Illinois (December of 1972) that the final curtain came down on the last American HAiR bus-and-truck company of the era. "Where Do I Go" resonated loudly for Lyle that night. By 1973, he had gone back to the land to farm and heal his sensitive spirit on the Big Island of Hawai'i.

At The Theater - Hair Once Again

by E.S.
New Haven, CT newspaper - circa September 12, 1971

 

"The actors were a little thinner this time, the boys better muscled, the girls shaplier, the whole job a little more professional.  And that didn't do the show a mite of harm...The most compelling performer was the lead himself, Lyle K'ang."

He has favorite cities - St. Petersburg, Florida and New Orleans was his best cities ever. He especially loved the way the crowd applauded by stamping their feet on the auditorium floor. The screams during a show was deafening at times. The mayor presented the 'key' to New Orleans to Lyle and his tribe.

Trk. 5, 'DARLING', ('children of the rainbow') should be listened to with an intent to connect underpinnings which stir as a gentle breeze, no matter the depth of tragedy or harmonious elation. It is more than just a quick fly-by.

 

SONG #5 - DARLING

[[LYLE]] This is one of those songs that came to me fully formed -- from where, I don’t know.  After listening to it hundreds of times, I finally heard the message.  It’s the story of how we lived for a short time in Laupahoehoe, found the Big Island farm in Pauilo, mauka where I reconnected with nature, raised a farm with children and healed from a life “on the road.” It was the beautiful people and a definite spirit form there which made the transformation easier for me. Laupahoehoe is the site where a large tsunami breached the shoreline, crashed into the school where the children were intent on learning. During our weeks of camping there, when we listened in the wee hours, somebody called out almost silently from the dark, pitch of night; still silent, small voices could be heard...we felt it, we acknowledged the gift; we left the next day, permanently and profoundly changed!!

  Why I Cry!


(c) 1971, 2008. Lyle K'ang - Taos, New Mexico.

Years and months later, and more today than ever, I still cry
- I thought I had a problem. There is a story in Hawaiian
folklore that speaks of a God called Ka'ne.

His treasure is the water, hence the name, 'the healing water's
of Ka'ne. Upon arriving in Hawai'i after HAIR disbanded, December
24th, 1972 and after staying with you for a short spell in Rising
Glen, I went through chaos, my personal primal screams, and
started on a spiritual transformation that had lasted some seven
years. This transformation continues today where I find myself
drawn closer to my writing's on business subjects, soon to start
and develop my personal story.

During this transformation, my family and I had unusual spiritual
encounters on the Big Island of Hawai'i. We saw many things.
Spiritual manifestations, that when shared with the Park Services
on the Big Island during a volcanic eruption, we were told,
Pe'le has many faces and we are all in anticipation because she
promises a great show!

My crying did not stop even when I found the perfect woman and
family of three boys.
The Healing Waters of Ka'ne came mostly at inopportune times.
While singing at concerts with my autoharp, being alone, or with
people.

(c) 2008. Lyle K'ang. Helmet

I started to ride a Harley motor cycle, my younger brother, just 
back from serving in the 101st Airborne, rode a Triumph right
beside me. He had his friends that were also Vietnam war Vets.
Mostly we were silent, listening to our engines and the roar of
the mufflers were just good enough then. My riding gear consisted
of my class 'A' dress uniform, a swastika over my heart, and a
real German chromed helmet. We all suffered from a silent rage.

During my time in the Air Force, I was a heating system
specialist-taking care of oil-fired boilers on the flight line
and family housing during winter months. On the flight line
lived the pilots' ready to go up in the B-52's at minutes notice,
arriving in Guam hours later, then on to VietNam.

A sergeant approached me and wanted me to help him form an honor
guard for the base. He had heard that I was good at calling out
commands and cadence. (learned these techniques in the Hawai'i
Civil Air Patrol; though I wanted to raise pigeons, my mother
insisted I join the C.A.P.) I joined his group and lent my expertise,
later realizing that we together, had formed an extraordinary drill
team. Our main function besides marching in parades in places
like Parma, Twin Falls, Kellogg, Boise, & Mountain Home,
Idaho was to bury the war's returning dead.

The correct method of folding the American Flag was practiced 
repeatedly. We would take turns presenting the flag to widows,
children, and kin. It appeared that after several burials
throughout the course of several months that ran into a year
or more, before my term of enlistment was up, many fellow Honor
Guard airmen started to hand-off the task to present the flag to me.
I did it squarely, with honor, and dignity.

I listened to the bugler playing his faraway notes after the shock 
of twenty-one guns blasted the silence, shattering the families
last hope of dignity, where intimacy was sacred, now all was
revealed. The weeping, knashing of teeth and wails of torment,
no one should see over and over again.
During the coming days and months the frequency of burials and 
parades escalated. I was now twenty-one years old; came in when
I was seventeen. I have not visited this place in my mind until
1969 when I was chosen to play the lead role of 'Claude' in the
Hawaiian production of HAIR.

Later, we found that a theater was not available on the island
of O'ahu because of community protests-mostly by the Japanese
community. A home eventually was secured for us in Las Vegas for
a one-year run at the International Hilton Hotel.

Several scenes in HAIR, were sacred -spiritual in nature that
had the power then just as it does today, to manage to find its
way deep inside the psychi and conjure up those burial images
and places traveled before; these were well kept secrets.

Now waiting and demanding to reveal themselves; their rightful
place lying down beside me, as 'Claude' lay dead on stage.
No, it wasn't simple. Images came during the Vietnam War songs,
walking across the stage coming for my friends, and just the
right amount of movement, I made the images disappear.
They managed to come back heavy, during Mercury and Venus
National tours.

Then finally, when I had learned how to cry, by just letting
it happen-it stopped!

To this day- I still cry, the images are gone; I cry over silly
things, like injustices, rain forests destroyed, indigenous
peoples slaughtered and babies neglected. I run with rage at
incompetence, and conscious neglect, arrogance and puffed up
egos, and yet I am only human, still trying to connect with
my God to turn righteous anger into works of miracles.

The compassionate nature of the spirit through
feelings and imagery is enough for comprehension. I owe a debt
to our fallen heroes, spirits who commune, and thousands upon
thousands of 'children of the rainbow' who have suffered and
continue to suffer in agony without the light of day, never
experiencing lasting joy.


Peace my friend, 
Lyle K'ang

Books and music authored by Lyle K'ang. A prolific writer who has written about business from a Technology point-of-view, AND VOCAL LYRICS creating an insiders view from a performing actor and musical focus.

 

 

Lyle K'ang

As a corporate Boeing geek, and their corporate network infrastructure manager and later as a business system manager, was charged with implementing Performance Management, VoIP, and Wireless to Commercial Airplanes 58,000 node Information Network infrastructure and world-wide factories. 

 

He was successful with these and similar projects, because of his innate focus and ability to 'see' the larger, more efficient enterprise layout. The expertise, quality control and performance structures each member from around the globe brought to his meetings were highly welcomed. He constantly relies on experience and other communication skills for successful performance measurements. 

 

 

As a past Chief Executive Officer for an International Technology firm in the late '90's, he knows how important changing skills needs to be always coupled with up to date information. Not neccessarily for technologies sake - he constantly discovers limitations within technology as it is unable to decipher his sometimes complex plans gathered through vision.

 

   He has a Masters of Business Administration specialization in Information Management. His technical skills span some twenty-years in IT. 
 

However, it is not always business - These absolutes and intangibles are at the very core and essence of perfecting great music.

 

After growing his family of three boys - sending them off to college - watching them create their own destiny, families and their own precious life, he said, "It's Dad's Turn!"

 

He jumped back into vocalizing and now ever more, a creation junkie for his own songs, penned with emotion - capturing sounds from a physical vortex which is open to everybody.

 

At least - Business and Music can coexist on the same progress wheel - one going one way, either in an inner or outer circle as the other follows going in the same direction or opposite as its own power in the remaining circle.

HAiR - Lyle K'ang as 'Claude' sings 'Flesh Failures'.

 

Because he could not play on the island of O'ahu, (many residents went up in protest against the show) he ended up playing at the Theater Royale in the plush Hilton International Hotel in Las Vegas, Nevada for over a year. Here he is singing the tear-jerker, 'Flesh Failures' in the last act, towards the finale of the show on stage in Las Vegas.

 He was the only member in the show of 20 people that had completed his tour in the military before joining the show after standing in line and auditioning with over 1,500 people.

 

In 1969 as the show opened in Las Vegas, and after a year later, the Las Vegas Tribe became the National Tour which opened itself to every major City throughout the continent where Lyle as 'Claude Hooper Bukowski' died every night.

HAiR closed in Nile, Chicago for Lyle in December of 1972.

 

In 1973 Lyle auditioned for a 'Hawaii-5-0' episode as a favor to a friend and later turned down the roles as something he did not want to pursue.

LYLE K’ANG

Even after Jack Lord, the star of the show personally came to ask Lyle at the director's request. Lyle apologized and said he was not interested. He just showed up because of a friend's request. He just wanted to go back to the land and farm. After being on the road for four years, he was ready to settle down - just wanted to touch the earth - in other words, he wanted to smell the soil again...yet together they both managed to talk Lyle into doing one episode of Hawaii-5-0...
