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

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

Though my first were done in Mobile
the songs I carried into the
studio had their origins in New
I landed there in 1968 I was just a year behind
being a alter boy
I was still a virgin and I
not to be of those things 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 Coast
is a place where, if you had any
And you weren't thinking the way people in the South were
in those
New was the place to be
It had made its mark on me before I even picked up a guitar
in my freshman in college
I had family roots that ran deep from to Gulf Port
to New Orleans to

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

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

All wonderful adventures I had in New Orleans as a 20-year-old
became my roots
Yeah, it on New Orleans I say
I'm not sure New Orleans wants to take the
Many of the ingredients in big pot of musical gumbo
I was cooking up eventually be served up

In 2011 I was given the unique
of being the Jazz poster boy
in a painting that depicted my busking
on the corner of and Charter streets
When I saw the for the first time
I it pretty much summed up things because
From 1967 2011 and still to this day
New Orleans has had the most on me
as a songwriter, performer and as any place
I lived or travelled to during my time on this planet

Oh with maybe the exception of that week I
in Timbuktu and in Mali in with the Bucktooth Brothers
exploring the musical of West Africa
And someone says, about Key West?
That's a whole story
We'll get to that one
But right now, another story that was simmering in my pot
for a longtime and finally is getting up on Buried Treasure
This is called Lane
