A Tribute To Clarence Clemons

Anyone considered him a master with the saxophone. As far as quality was considered, he stood alone. Clarence and the other members of the E-Street Band, when they backed up the Boss, they really sounded grand. I remember seeing Clarence in his only video. He appeared with Jackson Browne a couple of decades ago. Clarence, Jackson, and that unnamed blonde sounded fine when they teamed up to belt out “You’re a Friend of Mine”. Clarence is another musician who has gone away. I miss his sweet play of the saxophone today.
