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 early songs
Most of them come from the fact that I returned to Mobile
after years of living and playing in New Orleans
I had started writing
New Orleans will do to you

Though my first recordings were in Mobile
the that I carried into the
had their origins in New Orleans
When I landed there in 1968 I was just a behind
being a 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 up on the Gulf Coast
is a place where, if you had any
And you weren't thinking the way other 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 in college
I had family roots that ran deep from to Gulf Port
to New to Mobile

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

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

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 Orleans wants to the blame
of the ingredients in that big pot of musical gumbo
I was up would eventually be served up

In I was given the unique honour
of being the Fest poster boy
in a painting that my busking days
on the corner of and Charter streets
When I saw the painting for the first
I thought it 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 this

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