Luyện nghe bài hát Simple Pleasures (narration)

Okay, this next song is really, really buried
in digging up all these lost for you to hear
A of them were buried so deep that
even I remember writing them, much less playing them
Until Milton me some clues

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

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

Then in the Summer of '69, the movie Cowboy came out
and featured Harry Nielson's version of Everbody's
That 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 and was living with
Jerry Jeff but that's a other story,

was a great 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 knows
he kinda dropped out of sight just after the millenium
Sadly he passed away alone on Key
the list of Fred's proteges is long and with famous names
I'm simply to be one of the singers that spent time
in the of his great style

So this little Pleasure, goes out to Fred Neil
