Luyện nghe bài hát Simple Pleasures (narration)

Okay, this next song is really, really buried
in up all these lost songs for you to hear
A couple of them were buried so deep
even I couldn't remember them, much less playing them
Until gave me some clues

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

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

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

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

So this little Simple Pleasure, goes out to Fred
