My friends can't find some things I say

Must be the way I say those things

My friends can't find some things I do

Must be the way I do those things

I can't change it

But I'm trying to do right

 

 

 

Friday Rocks with Pat Travers

One of the most known rock and blues guitarists from Canada, Pat Travers, is the one who will Rock our Friday.

Taking into account that Paul Gilbert [Mr. Big] has referred to Travers as a "guitar god", and Kirk Hammett of Metallica has cited him as one of his favorite guitar players, I will not say anything else than invite you to enjoy some of his songs.
