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
Hello
hello – come in and make yourself at home
The Woodies have a blog. It’s a kind of collective. Not sure we’re about to start a revolution baby, but we might kindle a small debate or two and perhaps raise a smile. Anyway, rather than just blogging corporate Woodreed by fielding our top Woodie (as so many other companies seem to do in a thinly veiled attempt at impressing with their profundity), we wanted all our individual voices to be heard. An agency’s most valuable assets are its people after all. Everyone’s got something to say here and with us everyone’s ideas and opinions matter.
Each week someone different will be blogging. It's mostly about stuff that rocks our world as well as the flipside – the things that just don't cut it with us. We'll blog about inside and outside – inside this glorious industry where we work and outside in the real world.
It's a bit of an experiment, so go with us on this one.
Hope you enjoy.
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
