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

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

Though my first recordings done in Mobile
the songs that I carried the
studio had their in New Orleans
When I landed there in 1968 I was a year behind
being a Jesuit boy
I was a virgin and I wanted
not to be either of those things

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

New Orleans to all of us who up on the Gulf Coast
is a where, if you had any eccentricities
And you weren't thinking the way other people in the South
in those
New was the place to be
It had made its 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 when I left there and returned to Mobile to playing
for a living,
I was armed with old childhood and a fresh
French Quartered venture that I had turned into and songs
that wound up the material that interested Milton and Travis
and I got back to Mobile
And I think early 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 other inspiring singers and
Who's music was the sound of the
Dylan, Tim Harden, Bobby from Abbeyville,
Alan Toussaint New Orleans,
Collins, Joan Baez and Fred Neil down in Miami
They were now the on my song line

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

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

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