    What is Bruce Springsteen’s E Street Band named after?

    		Good question! I've been a Springsteen fan since the mid 70s when I was only age ten, I own all of his albums and have read several books about him and the band but I don't recall reading how they arrived at the name for the band. Hmm, this calls for some research!

    		The original lineup included Clarence Clemons (saxophone), Danny Federici (keyboards, accordion), Vini "Mad Dog" Lopez (drums), David Sancious (keyboards), and Garry Tallent (bass). According to a legend, the band took its name from the street in Belmar, New Jersey, where Sancious' mother lived.
