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

Listening to tracks 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
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
studio had their origins in New
When I landed there in I was just a year behind
being a Jesuit boy
I was a virgin and I wanted
not to be either of things anymore

So to borrow from a recent 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 place where, if you had any
And you thinking the way other people in the South were
in days
New was the place to be
It had made its mark on me long before I picked up a guitar
in my freshman year in
I had family roots that ran deep from Pascagoula to Gulf
to New Orleans to

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

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

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

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

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