From my curiosity. Just wanted to see if the original text writer was notified that someone had edited the text and if they would reply with an answer to the question.
If the ‘fellas’ are from Birmingham, UK then that’s remarkable, but if from the other Birmingham in the US, then maybe not so much.
Anyways, I love the music, keep it up!
Robert in York, UK.
