I was lucky enough to see Mr. Clemons play with the Boss during the "BORN IN THE USA" tour in MI it was a great show, and man could Mr. Clemons play a mean sax WOW!! You really couldn't be unimpressed by the way he played. For a "BIG MAN" boy that man had moves. He will be forever missed. I bet he'll find all the other big hotshots up in heaven and they'll have some AWESOME jam sessions. My heart, and my thoughts and prayers go out to all his family and friends. May God Bless All Of You.
