I read this morning on my way to work that Clarence Clemons passed away at the weekend after suffering a stroke a week ago.
To those who weren't aware and I must admit I am one of them, he was the sax player with Bruce Springsteen's E Street Band and was a memeber of the band for nearly 40 years.
It was only whilst listening to my fav morning radio show last week that I learnt that he has also played on Lady Gaga's record " The Edge of Reason" and they spoke about Clarence for quite a while and how it was great to hear a sax solo on a song for a change.
Jo, I know, is a rather big fan of this group and would probably do this announcement with far justice and knowledge than I ever could.
R.I.P. Clarence
for those of you who would like to hear Clarence in action on Lady Gaga's song please follow this link curosey of You Tube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QeWBS0JBNzQ
Indeed Michelle, the world of music is certainly the poorer for his death. If you want a brief taste of him at his very best take a look at this short clip of what became his signature solo at live Springsteen gigs http://bit.ly/5FmugT
