Rich Ulloa has always been passionate about music. That was evident early on when he established one of the most important independent record stores in the nation with Miami's Yesterday and Today Records. That led to the founding of Y&T Records, which gave birth to the Mavericks, Mary Karlzen and other seminal Florida artists that got their start courtesy of the label. In recent years, Y&T has achieved even greater prominence through several high profile releases, including an all-star tribute album saluting the legendary Eric Andersen and an ongoing series of unreleased Badfinger efforts offered through the cooperation of the Tom Evans and Pete Ham estates.
Rich talks with Lee and Billy about the evolution of the label, his current plans and the enthusiasm for music that brought him to this point... and well beyond. Check out Y&T Records and their artists online at http://www.ytmusiconline.com/ and http://www.marykarlzen.net/
