Dave Meniketti Of Y & T – EP100

Episode Description: It's our 100th episode and we are celebrating
in a big way. We are honored to have on the show with us, Y & T
founding member Dave Meniketti. We figured in Dave's 45 year
career, there hasn't been a question he hasn't answered, so our man
Hollywood came up with the idea of giving Dave the option to pick 3
albums from different eras of Y & T's career to discuss. Dave
picks an awesome 3 pack of albums and shares some great stories
with us about the band and the recording of each of the albums.
What's The Story ?: I am a huge Y & T fan and have been since
the mid 80s. My fandom pales in comparison to Sonny "Hollywood"
Pooni. Sonny has seen the band 49 times as of this recording.
According to him, if you grew up a rock fan in the Bay Area of
California, you have a responsibility of being a Y & T fan. So
it goes without saying when we needed a very special guest for our
100th episode, we looked no farther than Sonny's fellow California
brother, and the leader of one of Sonny's top 5 bands, Y & T's
Dave Meniketti. This band has meant so much to Sonny over his
Growin' Up Rock years that I wanted to share the intro to this
episode in his own words. "Growin’ up in Northern California,
Y&T is a major part of my Growin’ Up Rock story. To this day,
it drives me absolutely nuts when a “rock” fan doesn’t know who
Y&T is…especially if they are from California. Even though they
have been rockin’ the world for 45 years, the passion and work
ethic has never wavered. We are so honored to have with us, the
absolute hero of my teenage years, the underrated vocalist and
guitarist of Y&T and one of the hardest working guys in rock,
Mr. Dave Meniketti." Sit back and enjoy as we take a trip with Dave
through 3 very different periods in the band's career covering
three killer albums. Everyone’s got a Rock N Roll story to tell, so
