There are a few musical mnemonics you learn pretty early, like the spaces on a musical staff spell FACE, The lines are EGBDF, which you learn as Every Good Boy Does Fine.  (I actually learned it a different way but I won't go into that.)

For half a century now, I've known the strings on a guitar from top to bottom were E A D G B E.  I never learned a mnemonic for it.  It was just something you had to know.  The other night, Karly taught me one to remember it.  Eddie Ate Dynamite.  Good Bye Eddie.  I haven't laughed that hard in a long time.  John
