[ErikSchierboom]

ErikSchierboom picked one of the best with Jeff Buckley's Grace. He was an awesome vocalist/musician. It's a shame he's gone.

Yeah, it's terrible that he never has been able to really showcase all his talents except for Grace. By the way, did you know that Daniel Gildenlow (the very talented lead singer of Pain Of Salvation) would have liked to sing a duet with Jeff Buckely? That would have been an orgasmic experience.
