shortened version of his name brand brand which translated to English is brain true or false hmm that is a very good life it’s not true so I’m gonna go with my instinct and say that it’s true it is far fun fact brain is in fact derived from the word breagan which may be what you were thinking but that’s not a person’s name it’s just Old English that was used to describe the inside of the head breagan breagan uh yeah I should have guy sorry sorry guys I let you down Hey Oh for one yeah you’re you’re still good man it’s still early but you are losing I gotta get the first one right saxophone ha ha ha this is a family of woodwind instruments things that make people really cool name for Adolphe Sax ha ha mess around with different kinds of horns and wanted to make something like a horn but that can be controlled like a woodwind plus thus the saxophone was made in 1841 I don’t believe there was a guy named Sachs that would be an unfortunate last name I’m gonna say that is false true yeah
