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

Listening to these tracks brings up a lot of about
the of the lyrics of these early songs
of them come from the fact that when I returned to Mobile
after several years of living and in New Orleans
I had writing songs
New will do that to you

Though my first recordings were done in
the songs that I into the
had their origins in New Orleans
When I landed there in 1968 I was a year behind
a Jesuit alter boy
I was a virgin and I wanted
not to be either of things anymore

So to borrow from a recent song by Mack McNally,
it on New Orleans
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 the way other people in the South were
in those
New was the place to be
It had made its mark on me long I even picked up a guitar
in my year in college
I had roots that ran deep from Pascagoula to Gulf Port
to New Orleans to

So when I left there and 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 being the material that Milton and Travis
and I got back to Mobile
And I think these early recordings clearly my evolution as a
and a song writer

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

All those wonderful adventures I had in New 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 up would eventually be served up

In I was given the unique honour
of being the Jazz Fest boy
in a painting that my busking days
on the of Royal and Charter streets
When I saw the painting for the first
I thought it pretty much up things because
From 1967 through 2011 and still to day
New has had the most effect on me
as a songwriter, performer and novelist as any
I ever lived or travelled to during my time on planet

Oh with the exception of that 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 'nother story
get to that one later
But right now, another story that was simmering in my pot
for a longtime and finally is getting up on Buried Treasure
is called Rickety Lane
