A flight was delayed in Atlanta for over an hour. A man got out his saxophone and played Christmas songs for fellow passengers

CNN — Army veteran Wayne Hoey takes his saxophone with him everywhere. “She asked, ‘You have a saxophone?’ I said, ‘It’s in the overhead bin.’ “ The flight attendant got permission from the cockpit and Hoey started his impromptu serenade. And I’d just go ahead and play it.” Hoey said he treated his captive audience to a handful of songs, including “Holly Jolly Christmas,” “Here Comes Santa Claus,” and “Silent Night.” The musician, who has four children and 10 grandkids, also didn’t forget why he got his saxophone down in the first place. “They make connections.” He played in the US Army Band for decades Hoey’s life has always been intertwined with music.
