I decided I should at least go through the Springsteen catalog:

**Incident on 57th Street  
Tenth Avenue Freeze-Out  
4th of July, Asbury Park (Sandy)  
57 Channels and Nothin’ On  
American Skin (41 Shots)  
Highway 29  
One Step Up  
She’s the One  
Two Faces  
Two For the Road  
Two Hearts (are Better than One)  
Zero and Blind Terry  
Does this Bus Stop at 82nd Street?  
Johnny 99  
Linda Let Me Be the One**

**Duke** , I thought 18 Wheels and a Doz. roses was by Randy Travis

And I thought 16 Tons was Tennessee Ernie Ford (but you did say and others)

And “One Toke Over the Line” is an absolute classic as is “In the Year 2525”.

Great stuff, folks.
