November 6 is saxophone day and it is also my wife Leilani's birthday.

It holds a special significance to me because the two things most dear to me share the same day.

We are celebrating today (actually we drag out birthdays to the entire month - why limit the celebration to one day?)

When in South Dakota, I visited the National Music Museum and they have a collection of Adolph Sax saxophones from soprano to bass as well as a number of other instruments he invented that didn't take off like the saxophone.

If you ever get near Vermilion SD, the museum is worth at least a half day.
