Luyện nghe bài hát Simple Pleasures (narration)

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

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

I'd been turned on to 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 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 Harry Nielson's version of Everbody's Talkin'
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 down to play in Miami
for the first and was living with
Jerry Jeff but a whole other story,

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

So this little Simple Pleasure, out to Fred Neil
