It describes their magical performance together at the Greetings From Tim Buckley concert at the Church of St Ann in 1991the event that first introduced Jeff to the world at large; the creation of their songs Mojo Pin and Grace, which started life as guitar instrumentals by Gary and would later become integral to Jeffs debut album, Grace; and their plan to take on the world together in Garys band Gods & Monsters. Just as the band was set to soar, however, Jeff pulled the plug, opting instead to sign a solo deal with Columbia Recordsthe very label that had recently cut short its recording contract with the original incarnation of Gods & Monsters.
