From Five Questions with Juliana Hatfield at Magnet Magazine:
Fort Apache Studios’ Gary Smith also gave a great interview for that podcast and sadly passed away not long after. How did his death impact you?
Well, when I mentioned the death of a close friend, I meant Gary. He was a really important person in my life … one of the most important, smartest and supportive of what I was trying to do with my life and music. We were planning on buying property together, with each of us having our own house but sharing other things, helping each other out as we got older. His death has been a huge loss.
