We lost a legend today

Our condolences to the E-Street Band for losing one of it's most prominent members today.

His contribution to the music has been inspirational upbeat and just plain fantastic. When Bruce Springsteen and the E-street band selected his talent in the band they knocked it out of the park. The shiny yellow school bus used to crank his tunes all the way to campus some days and the students on board would bop their heads and rock all the way to school. C.C. a.k.a. the Big Man - was the force behind the E Street Band including the larger than life tunes,"Born To Run," "Thunder Road," "Jungleland," "Dancing In The Dark," "Badlands" and "The Promised Land." This tragic loss marks the end of an era of rich, soulful textures that shaped Springsteen's music for over three decades. This day the shiny yellow school bus item, a brand new one to the store is dedicated to that sound that yielded smile upon smile to the sea of faces on the other side of the saxophone and amplifier. Thanks for your fantastic notes, Big Man, you shall be missed. As always Sixxer thanks you for all of your wonderful clicks.
