A testament to his special gifts
Clabe was a good friend and a great musician. More than that he had that special gift for reaching out and touching others through his music and his words. It was an honor to have performed with him during a very special time in our countries history. The standing ovations “Grandmother’s Egg,” that’s what Clabe decided we should call ourselves, received at the Penny University, Redlands Bowl, Ice House, Troubadour and many schools and colleges were a testament to his special gifts and true love for all humanity. Once again the world has lost a truly great individual. For myself, Clabe was a tremendous teacher and mentor. I am still applying many of the ideas he taught me, the most important one and the one I most remember Clabe for; “when someone reaches out- be there for them.”
Thank you Clabe.
