Luyện nghe bài hát Simple Pleasures (narration)

Okay, this next song is really, buried treasure
in digging up all these lost for you to hear
A of them were buried so deep that
even I couldn't remember writing them, much less them
Until Milton gave me some

Once I this story, it did unlock my own buried treasure
locked away deep somewhere in that way back machine part of my
The unique thing about pleasures is
that it really features Rick on a lead acoustic solo
It also is a that got it's
inspiration from Fred Neil than Gordon Lightfoot

I'd been turned on to Fred by Bob Cooke who included several
of his in his sets in the Bayou Room days
Candyman which became a Roy Orbison hit, side of this life,
A bit of rain, The dolphins
Were all coffee house standards that came from his classic
and McDougall and from Bob's repertoire to mine

Then in the Summer of '69, the movie Cowboy came out
and featured Nielson's version of Everbody's Talkin'
That became a hit
As a solo performer and in every band I have played in that time
Everybody's Talking has been of my go-to list
I met Fred in Coconut Grove in 1971 when I went to play in Miami
for the first time and was with
Jerry Jeff but that's a other story,

Fred was a great inspiration and a good friend
We fished and played gigs together at the Flick in Coral
and on many project
in Coconut Grove in the early 70's
I stayed in touch with him in my comings and goings Key West
and God knows
Until he kinda out of sight just after the millenium
Sadly he passed away on Summerland Key
the list of Fred's proteges is long and loaded with famous
I'm proud to be one of the singers that spent time
in the shadow of his style

So this little Pleasure, goes out to Fred Neil
