Greyfriars Bobby was a Skye Terrier who became known in 19thcentury Edinburgh after reportedly spending 14 years guarding the grave of his owner, John Gray, until he died himself on 14 January 1872. A year later, Lady BurdettCoutts had a statue and fountain erected at the southern end of the George IV Bridge to commemorate him. Several books and films have been based on Bobbys life, including the novel Greyfriars Bobby (1912) by Eleanor Atkinson and the films Greyfriars Bobby (1961) and The Adventures of Greyfriars Bobby (2006). Bobby belonged to John Gray, who worked for the Edinburgh City Police as a night watchman, and the two were inseparable for approximately two years.

Living in Memphis and, chiefly, Miami (which he has called an influential dumping ground for all kinds of music), he took up piano and guitar as a preteen.
