Rhythm and Blues (Saxophone Day- Adolphe Sax Birth Anniversary)

On November 6th, some time during the 1800's, a Belgian guy named Adolphe Sax invented the saxophone and the saxtromba (never heard of that one). Musician and handyman - what a catch, right ladies? Sax's passion for music and inventing turned out to complement each other, bringing him fame and fortune...until he eventually went bankrupt.

Now, I would urge you to play a sweet tune in remembrance of Mr. Sax's contributions to music and the world, but since most people have not mastered the art of the sax, and there's really nothing worse than bad sax(ophone), how about we make some noise with promotional maracas? He provided the blues, you provide the rhythm!
