Carmine and I discuss how he started out just wanting to make a living in music playing weddings and Bar Mitzvahs, his time with Vanilla Fudge including their two appearances on the Ed Sullivan Show, his post-Fudge career, plus stories about Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, Jeff Beck, Rod Stewart, and Stevie Wonder. And we do a Songfest.

My featured song in this episode is my reimagined live version of Jimi Hendrix’s “Fire”, by my band, Project Grand Slam, recorded at the Nisville Jazz Festival in Serbia and released on the album Greetings From Serbia. Spotify link.
