Sad news indeed.<br /><br />Mike - My first recollection is of 'The Wild, the Innocent and the E Street Shuffle' but I did live in the same house as a guy with a huge record collection who later became a DJ just for fun...<br /><br />Sybil - Yes - will never see him live now...<br /><br />Catchy - I like the idea of the young Catchy blowing sax. 'Drive all Night' drips with sex and class, memory and loss.<br /><br />Helena - welcome to my huimble blog and thanks for the link - I have ionvestigated.<br /><br />JoJo - Now look here young woman...<br /><br />'Talentless hack'??? :0<br /><br />You've got me thinking...<br /><br />Beethoven? Did you expect much from a deaf guy? Me neither.<br /><br />Shakespeare? - Poor command of English.<br /><br />Einstein? - Crashing bore. No idea what he was on about...<br /><br />And yes you are right - Clemons did play with the Dead on a few occasions.white rabbithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15693920049571164318noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5046172520958527381.post-47778042202714144672011-06-21T04:37:57.612+01:002011-06-21T04:37:57.612+01:00Was sad to hear of Clarence's passing, althoug...Was sad to hear of Clarence's passing, although I find springsteen to be a talentless hack. *ducks*<br /><br />I could've sworn I saw Clarence w/ the Dead at a show but I can't seem to find the show on line that I was at.

I played "first chair" saxophone in my high school band and jazz band, but my sound was like humming on a comb compared to Clemons talent.<br /><br />"Drive All Night" was a great Springsteen choice to showcase the sexiness of a saxophone and piano.

Our friend was at the hospital the day he passed with Bruce and a bunch of other folks. Such a nice man. When he found out what a a big fan she was, he called her here at home to say hello prior to them meeting. Then when they met, he treated her like a lifelong friend.<br /><br />Very sad.Verdant Earlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03139591223231428391noreply@blogger.com
