Luyện nghe bài hát Simple Pleasures (narration)

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

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

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

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

Fred was a great inspiration and became a good
We fished and played together at the Flick in Coral Gables
and on many dolphin
benefits in Coconut Grove in the early
I stayed in touch with him in my comings and from Key West
and God where
he kinda dropped 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 simply proud to be one of the that spent time
in the of his great style

So this Simple Pleasure, goes out to Fred Neil
