Vinnie Martell is still playing. He's a born again Christian but he does not recoil from his past. I saw him play an absolutely bitchin' version of Hear My Train a Commin' at a Church. The man is still awesome.
I'd also encourage you to check out Rockin' The Wall from our own LS. I got a lot out of it.
Vinnie is a great guy. I saw the Fudge, less Tim, about six months ago here in PHX. They were, of course, awesome. Carmine had never been better, and Mark hit all the notes. But it was also sad that there were, maybe, 100 people in the little club.
I remember them opening for Hendrix in front of 10,000 at the Colisseum.
