So long old friend, we were from the same generation, ok, ..you were only 8 years older than me, but I felt a kindred spirit. I was into your music in the early 80s, bought your albums, had your cassettes in my car. Your music was always playing at my house. I got a lot of pleasure and relaxation from your tunes. I was glad I got to see you perform live in the mid 80s and early 90s, when you were in Columbus, Ohio. Thanks for all the good times and music. Rest easy, old friend. Sincerely, ...a fan.

This particular video is even more poignant since we now all know what he was going through at the time. He pushed through this performance even though, as a lifelong DS fan, I could tell something was not right. He was always my sax-hero and, as a sax player myself, I tried for many years to find a way to get that "Sanborn Tone" on his song Benny, my favorite. Of course, I couldn't. His music will never die. Thanks David! Eternally.

Désolé, je préfère rester sur mes souvenirs d’un grand musicien, de ses meilleurs moments et celui-ci ne l’est plus .
On sent sa maladie et sa faiblesse , dommage,mais il m’inspire beaucoup de respect et d’humilité ❤
