Luyện nghe bài hát Simple Pleasures (narration)

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

Once I this story, it did unlock my own buried treasure
locked deep somewhere in that way back 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 Gordon Lightfoot

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

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

Fred was a great and became a good friend
We fished and played together at the Flick in Coral Gables
and on many project
benefits in Grove in the early 70's
I in touch with him in my comings and goings from Key West
and God where
Until he kinda out of sight just after the millenium
he passed 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 great

So this little Simple Pleasure, out to Fred Neil
