May 22, 2021 – National Buy A Musical Instrument Day | National Solitaire Day

This Video Game Hall Of Famer Has Been Around For Over 30 Years!

Welcome to May 22nd, 2021 on the National Day Calendar. Today we celebrate pie in the sky purchases and going solo. 

Here’s a question for you, if you could buy any musical instrument, which one would it be?

My brother has his eye on the Deering Banjosaurus Long Neck that comes in at a cool $64,000.  I guess I know what he wants for Brother’s Day.  Celebrate National Buy A Musical Instrument Day with your own dream purchase, which may seem more reasonable after listening to our bucket lists.

The World Video Game Hall of Fame has honored such favorites as Pac Man, Super Mario Brothers and Halo.  But one game in the Hall of Fame may surprise you, Solitaire.  This game made its debut in 1990 and since then it’s been played by more than half a billion people worldwide.  Solitaire is also number three on the list of most frequently used Microsoft programs.  Anyone who has ever worked in an office can tell you how happy they are that Solitaire exists.  Otherwise, how would we make it through conference calls?   On National Solitaire Day, celebrate the game for one that helps us goof off, while still being productive at work. 

I’m Anna Devere and I’m Marlo Anderson.  Thanks for joining us as we Celebrate Every Day.
