Luyện nghe bài hát Simple Pleasures (narration)

Okay, this next song is really, really treasure
in digging up all lost songs for you to hear
A of them were buried 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
away deep somewhere in that way back machine part of my brain
The unique thing 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 Lightfoot

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

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

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

So this Simple Pleasure, goes out to Fred Neil
