For some reason the US was not an option but I have spent some time in East Anglia so that will do. I'm here because I wanted to comment on my friend, daddy cool's songs aka Robert Bonsall, whom I know from chordie.com. I will post some of my own recordings as well just to keep honest to the label I signed up as.
