FYI, Blinded By The Light was written by Bruce Springsteen and here is HIS
version:   http://home.mn.rr.com/almhome/Blinded.mp3

Note: my little web site can only hold one or two songs at a time, depending
on the size.  I had to take down Going to California to fit this one.  If
you like some of these songs I'm putting up, I suggest downloading them and
saving because they won't be up for long.  But I do take requests.  8-)

Slim
