I like to use mnemonics as a tool to help my students learn to read music. I'll share one with you. For bass clef I always use these:

Lines (bottom to top):

G - Garbage (bottom line)
B - Bags
D - Don't
F - Fall
A - Apart (top line)

Spaces (bottom to top):

A - All (bottom space)
C - Cows
E - Eat
G - Grass (top space)
Yea, I had heard the one for the spaces, but not the one for the lines. The one I came across was Green Birds Don't Fly Away, but yours makes much more sense. Thanks for sharing!
