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

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

Though my first recordings done in Mobile
the songs that I into the
studio had their origins in New
When I landed there in 1968 I was just a behind
being a Jesuit boy
I was still a virgin and I
not to be of those things anymore

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

New to all of us who grew up on the Gulf Coast
is a place where, if you had any
And you weren't thinking the way other people in the 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 from Pascagoula to Gulf
to New to Mobile

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

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

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

In 2011 I was given the honour
of being the Jazz poster boy
in a painting depicted my busking days
on the of Royal and Charter streets
When I saw the painting for the time
I it pretty much summed up things because
1967 through 2011 and still to this day
New Orleans has had the effect on me
as a songwriter, and novelist as any place
I ever lived or travelled to during my time on this

Oh with maybe the exception of week I spent
in Timbuktu and in Mali in Bamako the Bucktooth Brothers
exploring the musical of West Africa
And someone says, What about Key
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 is getting served up on Buried Treasure
This is called Rickety
