Eric Martin is solo artist who also sang with Mr. Big for years.  With Mr. Big he had a #1 hit with "To Be With You".  Lots of great stories in this episode including playing pool with Bon Scott,  touring with Rush, hiding from Journey in a closet, an offer to audition for Rainbow, playing on the Iron Eagle soundtrack, and lots of ball busting! One of my favorite interviews ever!
