Inspired by your example, John, I took the plunge myself.
We should have done this years ago.

Here is some more information about the song 'Blinded by the Night' It
was written and originally recorded by Bruce, --Bruuuuce, Springsteen.
"Blinded by the Light" is a song written and originally recorded by
Bruce Springsteen. It was originally released as the first track on
his first album, Greetings From Asbury Park, N.J. (1973); as the first
single from that album it was a dud, failing to chart, although the
track later gained airplay on progressive rock radio. It then attained
its greatest success when it was remade by Manfred Mann's Earth Band,
whose version reached Number 1 on Billboard's Hot 100 in 1977. As of
2006, the Manfred Mann recording of "Blinded by the Light" is still
Springsteen's only Number 1 single as a songwriter on the Hot 100.
Springsteen wrote the song after most of the others on Greetings were
finished, and was intended to be the first single, which it was. It is
also one of the few songs Springsteen ever wrote the words to before
arranging the music. Those swiftly-paced, jumbled lyrics [1] are
stream of consciousness descriptions of a series of bizarre
individuals he met while a young artist in New Jersey. Playing small
venues, such as bars along the Jersey Shore, Springsteen recounts
various characters from these events. He alludes to Vini "Mad Dog"
Lopez, then his drummer, in the opening line "Madman drummers", as
well as the "silicone sister" (bartender, possibly a to an erotic
dancer) who encourages him to play a particular, unknown song. United
by the chorus: "Yeah (s)he was blinded by the light/Cut loose like a
deuce another runner in the night/Blinded by the light/(S)he got down
but (s)he never got tight, but (s)he's gonna make it (allright)
tonight", the song goes on to chronicle Springsteen's trouble to get
the bar patrons, who rarely cared about or even heard the music, to
get excited and into the performance.
