On June 28, 1846, Adolphe Sax invented a new musical instrument vagualy resembling an oversized crumhorn made of brass. I, for one, thank him for it. PS - check out his wikipedia page, it's a hoot.

Got an alto and a tenor
but my favourite to play is a C Melody that I rescued from a junk store. Made in the '20's in Indiana, it's a joy to play. These things were produced in the thousands, and thrown away in the thousands, and are now much sought after by tenor players. I read that a company has started to make them again.

You got that right, BR. When I decided to do this and was
roughing it out in my mind I decided to make a joke about a Saxotuba. then I discovered that there was one, a saxtuba, and a saxhorn and many more.
Thanks for the clip.

Thanks Roy. I was running out of time and still hadn't done
any rock, so I decided to leave Trane, Hawkins, and all the rest for people to throw into the comments. Thanks for that link - I'll embed it here just to make it easy on folks:

Good morning otc. Hope the office project is doing well.
That sax was Clarence Clemons; famously spent his whole career with the e-street band and did some notable work there - here's that song you linked:
He also had a hit single, a duet with somebody completely different:

Good morning DH. Thanks for the tunes.
I had a friend who got stopped in Los Angeles for listening to Kenny G while driving. It turns out that a lot of people were falling asleep at the wheel doing that, so they banned it.

Bow wow wow
LOL! Stealing that!
My dear wife used Kenny G CDs to put classrooms of pre-k kiddos to sleep (nearly instantly) at nap time. Now, of course, this was back when the state of Texas allowed pre-k kiddos to have nap time.
She woke them up with Atomic Dog. George Clinton beats Kenny G every time.
