Good evening everyone, and welcome to the United States of America. And indeed we have congregated here at this time to celebrate a most treasured wellspring of contemporary music. It is the sound which historians in the far future might catalog under 20th century pre-light emitting diode euphoric*. But today the sound lives. And tonight, assembled excusively for your entertainment pleasure, from the music capitals of this continent, this is the hardworking all-star show band of Joliet Jake and Elwood Blues. Ladies and gentlemen, these are the Blues Brothers!

* - Thanks to Don for emailing me with the correct lyric!!
