Vinny Martell of Vanilla Fudge just put out a book-—kinda. I got a copy, but apparently his backer got the book done before the China Virus, then backed out, so he doesn’t have $ to publish it.
Jimi said very favorable things about Vinny’s guitar playing.
Vinny was also in the U.S. Navy during the Cuban Missile Crisis & was down in the Caribbean.
I caught Vinnie giving a very moving and credible Born Again testimony at a church in Paramus a few years ago. He’s a excellent public speaker, covering his time in the Navy and the rock and roll roller coaster. Oh, and his playing remains excellent...he covered Hear My Train A Coming and it was the best Hendrix cover.
