National Nachos Day Sometimes theyre hot and spicy. Sometimes theyre cheesy. Sometimes they make a mess everywhere. But one thing is certain: theyre delicious, and a favorite in many parts of the world. Yes, were talking about nachos. What food deserves its own holiday more than nachos? From the kitchens of Texas to the Rose Bowl Stadium, nachos have more then earned their fame. And their own day. National Nachos Day. https://www.daysoftheyear.com/days/nachos-day/Saxophone Day Saxophone Day is all about smooth jazz, soulful blues and good old rocknroll. Everybodys wants to be able to play that bit from Baker Street (and its perfectly fine to air sax along to it, right?), so take this day as an opportunity to go for it! Dust off, borrow, buy or rent a saxophone and go sax crazy!

I wanted to put up a Charlie Parker video, but couldn't decide which one. So I went with the picture of saxy Big Dawg instead!

... any video will do. I like the original "Koko" because the backstory is so much fun -- young Miles Davis having to sit out because he couldn't keep up -- and it is such an important song in the development of jazz.
