Uh yes, uh no

"I worked on the recording of the Chinese invasion of Vietnam in  18th February 1979. I mixed it with Uh Yes Uh No, the voice of Andy Warhol  from Jeff Gordon, Art Voices. 
Gordon's interviewed Warhol but then he erased the questions and just left the “yes” and “no” answers. Warhol would talk a loved recordings of people’s voices. Gordon claims that his favorite was Jacqueline Kennedy’s because it was like a whispering breath. Somehow this tragic announce of the Chinese invasion of Vietnam is made by a very gentle voice which made me think of this piece: Uh Yes Uh No. (Source UbuWeb Sound)"
