Harmonie

I explained this in a topic once before (not this one, my username was changed very recently), but it is kind of obscure so I'll explain it again.

'Harmonie' is an old term in like the 19th century and possibly before for ensembles which consisted of woodwind and brass instruments. I love woodwind and brass instruments, and music history, so it's a great username... Even if very few people will get it and probably think it's just an alternate spelling of 'Harmony'.

If you hadn't explained it I would have thought it was an alternate spelling of "Harmony".  :redface:

Nam

It's been my nickname since 1997 (I've only been online since 2001). I used to be a strong built looking guy (now I am old and flabby), a friend at the time, thought I was in the National Guard (there's a local post) so he started calling me "Nam". It stuck.

And that's why I explained it. =P

You don't have to feel ashamed! It's not common knowledge. I did not even know the term until maybe two or three months ago when I was reading a history book on the bassoon. And then I was like "OMG that needs to be my username!"
