Luyện nghe bài hát Simple Pleasures (narration)

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

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

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

Then in the Summer of '69, the movie Cowboy came out
and Harry 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 has been part of my go-to list
I met Fred in Coconut Grove in 1971 I went down to play in Miami
for the first and was living with
Jerry Jeff but a whole other story,

was a great inspiration and became a good friend
We fished and played gigs together at the Flick in Gables
and on many project
benefits in Coconut in the early 70's
I in touch with him in my comings and goings from Key West
and God knows
Until he dropped out of sight just after the millenium
Sadly he away alone on Summerland Key
the list of Fred's proteges is long and loaded with names
I'm simply proud to be one of the singers that time
in the of his great style

So little Simple Pleasure, goes out to Fred Neil
