Today is National Saxophone Day. In recognition, here are a few saxophone facts:
The saxophone was invented by Adolphe Sax, He was born this day in 1814.
Although saxophones are made of brass they are woodwind instruments.
The saxophonist in the Muppet band ‘Dr. Teeth and the Electric Mayhem’ was called Zoot.
Ex-US president Bill Clinton enjoyed a bit of sax on the side.

Delightful. And such a sexy instrument, preferably in a cozy nightclub, where they allow those who have attained the honor of the half-century mark.
