I just found this whilst checking out the pianist Hiromi Uehara.
It's a video of Clarkee getting his honorary doctorate from the University of the Arts in Philadelphia.

That is really cool - but then again so is Stanley.

Here's a fun story about the city of brotherly love and Stan. My wife and I were visiting Philly and trying to find Stan's plaque on the walk of fame. We finally found it and she was about to take a picture of me grinning next ot Stan's plaque.

Just then this gentleman says that he could take the picture with both of us next to the plaque... he did and we thanked him heartly, he then turns and says "Now you can tell them that Judge So and So took your picture in front of the Stanley Clarke plaque."

It is a shame that I don't remember the Judges name, but it certainly was great to be loved in the city by a brother from a different mother! :-)

It's also a shame that the picture was taken with a 35mm and the picture is now tucked away in one of the many shoe boxes of photos that we have,,,, I need to find it and scan it, , , one-of-these-days.
