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

Listening to these brings up a lot of memories about
the of the lyrics of these early songs
Most of them come from the fact when I returned to Mobile
after 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 I carried into the
studio had their origins in New
When I there in 1968 I was just a year behind
being a Jesuit boy
I was still a virgin and I
not to be either of those things

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

New to all of us who grew up on the Gulf Coast
is a where, if you had any eccentricities
And you weren't thinking the way other people in the 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 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 that I had turned lyrics and songs
that wound up the material that interested Milton and Travis
and when I got back to
And I think early recordings clearly show my evolution as a
and a song writer

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

All those wonderful 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 in that big pot of musical gumbo
I was cooking up would be served up

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

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