Happy Saxophone Day!

Is it an official holiday? Well not really, but it is listed on Hallmark’s Ultimate Holiday Site. Gee, I wonder if they make a greeting card to go with it as well?  :scratch:

Despite Hallmark’s rather myopic use of the term National Saxophone Day, it  is indeed International Saxophone Day, since Adolphe Sax’s birth is celebrated around the world. That’s right, it was 198 years ago today that the man who invented our instruments was born in Dinant, Belgium.

So if you’re looking for an excuse to celebrate today, look no further. International Saxophone Day has arrived just in time to justify that extra pint or two after work. Yes sadly you will have to go to work, because while we may see it as a holiday, our governments have not seen fit to give us the day off with pay. Gee, I wonder who we would have to lobby for that? 😉

    1. Because they don’t make greeting cards for it. 😉 And we don’t get a day off from school and work for it. 🙂

      Well at least you know now, so you’ll be able to celebrate this November 6. TOMORROW!
