Luyện nghe bài hát Blame It On New Orleans (narration)

Listening to these brings up a lot of memories about
the source of the lyrics of these early
Most of them come from the fact that I returned to Mobile
after several years of and playing in New Orleans
I had started songs
New Orleans do that to you

my first recordings were done in Mobile
the songs that I carried the
studio had their in New Orleans
When I landed there in 1968 I was just a behind
being a Jesuit boy
I was still a and I wanted
not to be either of those anymore

So to borrow from a recent title by Mack McNally,
Blame it on New
fair, I do

New Orleans to all of us who grew up on the Gulf
is a place where, if you had any
And you weren't the way other people in the South were
in days
New Orleans was the to be
It had its mark on me long before I even picked up a guitar
in my freshman year in
I had family roots that ran deep Pascagoula to Gulf Port
to New Orleans to

So I left there and returned to Mobile to continue playing
for a living,
I was with old childhood memories and a fresh
French Quartered venture I had turned into lyrics and songs
that wound up being the material that interested Milton and
and I got back to Mobile
And I think these early recordings clearly show my as a
performer and a song

You start emulating someone, like I did Gordan
and then you open up to other inspiring singers and
music was the sound of the 60's
Dylan, Tim Harden, Bobby Charles Abbeyville,
Toussaint from New Orleans,
Judy Collins, Joan Baez and Fred Neil in Miami
were now the roadsigns on my song line

All those wonderful adventures I had in New Orleans as a
my musical roots
Yeah, it on New Orleans I say
I'm not sure New wants to take the blame
Many of the ingredients in that big pot of musical
I was cooking up would eventually be up

In 2011 I was given the honour
of the Jazz Fest poster boy
in a painting that depicted my days
on the corner of Royal and streets
I saw the painting for the first time
I it pretty much summed up things because
From 1967 through 2011 and to this day
New Orleans has had the most on me
as a songwriter, performer and novelist as any
I ever lived or travelled to during my time on planet

Oh with maybe the exception of that I spent
in Timbuktu and in Mali in Bamako with the Bucktooth
exploring the musical culture of West
And someone says, What about Key
That's a 'nother story
We'll get to that one
But right now, another story that was simmering in my pot
for a and finally is getting served up on Buried Treasure
This is called Rickety
