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 were buried so deep that
I couldn't remember writing them, much less playing them
Until Milton gave me some

Once I heard this story, it did unlock my own buried
locked away deep somewhere in that way machine part of my brain
The unique about simple pleasures is
that it really features Rick Hirsch on a lead acoustic
It also is a song that got
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 in the Bayou Room days
Candyman became a Roy Orbison hit, Other side of this life,
A bit of rain, The dolphins
Were all coffee house standards came from his classic album
Bleeker and and from Bob's repertoire to mine

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

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

So this Simple Pleasure, goes out to Fred Neil
