Luyện nghe bài hát Simple Pleasures (narration)

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

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

I'd been turned on to Neil by Bob Cooke who included several
of his in his sets in the Bayou Room days
Candyman which became a Roy Orbison hit, Other side of 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

Then in the Summer of '69, the movie Cowboy came out
and Harry Nielson's version of Everbody's Talkin'
That a radio hit
As a solo performer and in every band I have played in 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 in Miami
for the first and was living with
Jerry Jeff but a whole other story,

Fred was a inspiration and became a good friend
We and played gigs together at the Flick in Coral 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 kinda dropped out of just after the millenium
Sadly he passed alone on Summerland Key
the list of Fred's is long and loaded with famous names
I'm simply proud to be one of the singers that spent
in the shadow of his style

So this little Simple Pleasure, out to Fred Neil
