RIP Pat Torpey - Mr. Big

Tonight we crank some Mr. Big: RIP Pat Torpey. I'll never forget seeing in RIP magazine that this guys were putting out an album & counting the days. Eric Martin's R&B-rooted vox, Billy's bass-dancing, Mr. Paul Gilbert's fretboard histrionics, & PT's chameleon drumming on American Bandstand... I KNEW these guys would write some killer tunes. Look beyond "To Be With You"... there's a treasure trove of songwriting & musicianship that, sadly, will now come to an end. I'll leave you with a Torpey/Cordola composition from "The Stories We Could Tell"
