I worked with Dave at the NY City Opera, in many NYC concerts, and even on a few record dates.
Our friendship went back 35+ years. He was an irascible colleague, but a great player. His musicianship was impeccable, and his tone was unmatched in the world of beautiful clarinet sounds.
I'll miss Dave, we spoke about a year ago, and he asked me, "How ya doin' kid?" It's fun to be thought of as a "kid," but at 92 years old, I guess everyone else is a kid.
It's another great clarinet legend gone, he will be missed by many.
