The clarinet player I met on San Francisco’s Embarcadero a couple of years ago; he started playing in 1947 when he was young, and hasn’t stopped. I haven’t seen him the last few times I’ve been in the City. I hope he is well, and continues to play beautiful music where ever he is. I keep running by this photo in my files, and the very thought of hearing that lovely clarinet down by the waterfront makes me stop every time.

That is thoughtful of you to remember this talented man. I do hope is well and good as well. I think it enriches us when we truly observe and open ourselves to the people around us.

Loved the photo, I have clarinet in mind for my son and this has inspired me to move on and actually get him one. So much nicer sound than the bleep of a DS.

It sounded beautiful this day of the photo; and I’ve heard some incredible clarinet from a street musician in the City who stands in the corner of buildings in the financial district; the echo off the buildings is magical.
