picker Posted June 19, 2011 Share Posted June 19, 2011 I didn't realize he was that old. But that's still too young to die. Rest in peace, dude. Always remember that you are unique. Just like everyone else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whitefang Posted June 22, 2011 Share Posted June 22, 2011 I was sad to hear it, too. But what bugged me sort of, was Brian Williams on NBC news going on about how UNIQUE it was that Springsteen had a saxophone in a modern rock and roll band! For a few years before ANYONE even HEARD of "The Boss", Bob Seger was employing sax man Alto Reed in his line-up. The fact that Clemmons blew circles around him shouldn't matter. I didn't know the big guy was that age. Rest easy, man. Whitefang I started out with NOTHING...and I still have most of it left! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Fraser Posted June 22, 2011 Share Posted June 22, 2011 Bob Seger was employing sax man Alto Reed in his line-up. Is that a real name?! No doubt invented, but what a great stage nom de plume for a sax player. Scott Fraser Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric Iverson Posted June 22, 2011 Share Posted June 22, 2011 There have been sax players in rock since the beginning... not to take anything away from Clarence! RIP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
