John Sparks, Baritone Saxophone For those who didn’t know him, he was the kindest person you would ever meet. While Lockheed was still in Burbank, John joined the employees band (1982). When Lockheed moved to Palmdale, he continued to play with the band while it struggled to stay afloat. At that time, Don Holcomb took the reins as Director and Don’s wife Mary continued to play clarinet and came up with great ideas. John took on the role of treasurer, publicity person, helped as librarian, and did whatever Don and Mary asked him to do. Over the years, John moved from alto sax to tenor and ended up on baritone. Three years ago he retired from the band and moved to North Carolina to be near his granddaughter. And he continued playing his sax! See video beside… |
