Luyện nghe bài hát Simple Pleasures (narration)

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

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

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

Then in the Summer of '69, the Midnight Cowboy came out
and Harry Nielson's version of Everbody's Talkin'
became a radio hit
As a solo performer and in every band I 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 down to play in
for the first time and was living
Jerry Jeff but that's a whole story,

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

So this little Pleasure, goes out to Fred Neil
