Luyện nghe bài hát Simple Pleasures (narration)

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

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

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

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

Fred was a great and became a good friend
We fished and played gigs together at the Flick in Coral
and on many dolphin
benefits in Coconut in the early 70's
I stayed in touch with him in my and goings from Key West
and God knows
Until he kinda dropped out of 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 singers that spent
in the shadow of his style

So this little Simple Pleasure, goes out to Fred
