- Lake Worth, Florida, United States
- We lived double life for eight years, in the start of the tropics during the winter and in the foothills of the “Gunks” in the summer. Mel grew up in a “Little Box” in Levittown. Vinnie was born in Gravesend, and has been working his way back ever since. Mel has been singing songs with her guitar for fifty years now. She sings songs that mean something and might say something. Her writing reflects her passion. Vinnie has been relegated to the guitar since he was fourteen. He envisioned himself as a great sideman to bluesy singers. He found Mel over 30 years ago. They have been singing, playing, writing and living together ever since.
