Bunny is an idiot.  If she doesn't know the answer or won't bother to look it up, she should not be answering any questions.  Also, it is not her place to be determining what is a boring question.  She is NOT a regular on the genealogy forum, which is what this forum is, so she needs to butt out.

The name, Bon Iver, is an Anglicization of the French, bon hiver (good winter). Vernon independently released Bon Iver's debut album, For Emma, Forever Ago in 2007, the majority of which was recorded while spending four months in a remote cabin in Wisconsin.
