    Clarence Clemons - RIP Big Man!

    Clarence Clemons died today due to complications from a stroke he had last week. The world just lost one of the great saxophonists in my time. He made playing the sax cool to a lot of kids.

    Best sax solo I always think of him was in Jungleland, not many bands give a sax player 2 plus minutes of soloing.

    4:20 - 7 minute mark.



    Posted on Bruce Springsteen's website

    "It is with overwhelming sadness that we inform our friends and fans that at 7:00 tonight, Saturday, June 18, our beloved friend and bandmate, Clarence Clemons passed away. The cause was complications from his stroke of last Sunday, June 12th.

    Bruce Springsteen said of Clarence: Clarence lived a wonderful life. He carried within him a love of people that made them love him. He created a wondrous and extended family. He loved the saxophone, loved our fans and gave everything he had every night he stepped on stage. His loss is immeasurable and we are honored and thankful to have known him and had the opportunity to stand beside him for nearly forty years. He was my great friend, my partner, and with Clarence at my side, my band and I were able to tell a story far deeper than those simply contained in our music. His life, his memory, and his love will live on in that story and in our band."

    I had the honor of seeing him live with the first Ringo all-star band. Just a HUGE talent.
