Having grown up in New Jersey, I couldn’t help but to admire this great saxophonist. Tragic though, another great rocker goes to the great gig in the sky. Not to upstage you, but Clarence played on the song “Be Cruel to Your School” by Twisted Sister.

By no means are you doing an upstage with this Rock historic info! I just flat out forgot about Clarence and his Twisted Sister “connection”. Having input like this only makes it better my Metal buddy. 🙂
