- The epitaph on his tombstone reads: "The breeze of Grace is always blowing; set your sail to catch that breeze".
- I don't write down lyrics or anything else, and I've no idea how guitar-tuning is supposed to go. I just work with the strings until something comes out that sounds good to me; from there, everything else falls into place.
