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

Listening to these tracks brings up a lot of memories
the source of the lyrics of these songs
Most of them from the fact that when I returned to Mobile
after several years of and playing in New Orleans
I had started songs
New Orleans do that to you

Though my first recordings were in Mobile
the songs I carried into the
studio had their in New Orleans
When I landed there in 1968 I was just a behind
being a alter boy
I was still a 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 to all of us who grew up on the Gulf Coast
is a where, if you had any eccentricities
And you thinking the way other people in the South were
in those
New Orleans was the to be
It had made its mark on me long before I even up a guitar
in my year in college
I had family roots ran deep from Pascagoula to Gulf Port
to New to Mobile

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 into and songs
that wound up being the material interested Milton and Travis
and I got back to Mobile
And I these early recordings clearly show my evolution 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 Toussaint New Orleans,
Collins, Joan Baez and Fred Neil down in Miami
They were now the roadsigns on my song

All those wonderful I had in New Orleans as a 20-year-old
my musical roots
Yeah, it on New Orleans I say
I'm not sure New Orleans wants to 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 that depicted my busking
on the of Royal and Charter streets
I saw the painting for the first time
I thought it pretty summed up things because
From 1967 through 2011 and still to day
New has had the most effect on me
as a songwriter, performer and as any place
I lived or travelled to during my time on this planet

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