I just heard on the early morning news that Clarence Clemens Passed away in his home yesterday.He was the most iconic sax player in the world today and with his 270lb. 6'5" frame was a commanding presence on the stage.The first time I heard the Boss I was struck by the power and finesse that the Big Man played with.I imagine that the Heavens will be rippin' 'her up tonight '\with the Big Man leading the band.Thanks for the beautiful tunes C.C. God Bless You.

They'll be enjoying that Jungle land sax solo up on that big stage in the sky. Thanks Big Man for those many enjoyable concerts. RIP
