Slack Friend Quotes & Sayings

It couldn't have been because I'd told the Lilin I'd rip his head off.

I come from a musical family. Mom was a piano teacher for a large portion of her life, and Dad is a saxophone hobbyist who grew up in England during the heyday of Tubby Hayes and Ronnie Scott.

I did some classical training, but I was always more into the really thematic stuff. — Gerard Cox
