Clarence Clemons will be genuinely missed.
The music. The feeling. The sense of rightness. The sense of home. Through his saxophone, Clarence was able to do something that no other musician has been able to do. He gave sound to an emotion that is uniquely New Jersey – an emotion that is as tough as it is soulful … as distinctive as it is familiar.
It is a sound that transcends both time and place. No matter where you are or what you are doing, Clarence’s saxophone has the ability to bring you back to a special place – one where things are good, things are hopeful, things are right.
For many of us, his music has been the backdrop against which we have lived our lives. Growing up. Moving away. Coming home. Hanging with friends. Dreaming big dreams. Working. Dating. Mourning. Celebrating. Living. Through it all, there was Clarence’s saxophone – penetrating our moments, lifting our spirits, putting it all in perspective.
