Hi All!
The pictures from the Sea of Destiny Fundraiser Party are up in our Photos Section. Please check them out! They are terrific!
A big thank you Paul, Joni, Dave, Jay, Mary Jane, Cheryl and her staff at the Sportsman Lounge and everyone (there are just to many people to list but you know who you are!!! And you should all be mentioned in the pics. If I missed anyone let me know :) Whew.... Anyway Thank you for such a warm welcome and a great night. We really are honored to be a part of this project.
The score to the movie is coming along wonderfully. I am in awe of what Gerry has written. I will be putting some of the music to a trailer soon. I love doing this! Being creative is the way to live!
Just in case you haven't heard we have been asked to score a movie which is being filmed in Edgartown on Martha's Vineyard, written and directed by Paul Antonelli! You can find him on Facebook! Gerry has already written some beautiful pieces and there are even parts for me with autoharp, flute and vocals yay!... It is a great script and again we can't say enough how grateful and very honored we are to be a part of it. For more information please check out our page on Facebook and you should find the link or search for "Sea of Destiny Fundraising Page" . Mr. Paul Antonelli has really outdone himself on this one! or you could click the link below....
I have uploaded a few teasers for the Score for your listening pleasure! Please scan through the player... "Variations of the Sea"

Maria Lena & Gerry Stafford (aka “Max Ex”) (Acoustic Duo)
www.facebook.com/maxexband www.acousticmaxex.com www.myspace.com/mariaandgerry 781-835-5703
This incredible duo plays those rare songs that people love to hear, such as that Classic Legend, “Thick as a Brick”. Everywhere they perform they bring excitement and electricity to the stage. Gerry Stafford is a master and a teacher of many different kinds of Guitars, Mandolin, Keys. His vocals have the charm and accent of the English speaking Bard. His partner Maria Souza plays Flute, Autoharp, and also a little Keyboard, Tambourine, Shakers, etc... “anything that makes noise”... And her rich vocals vibrate with mystery.
Both presently living in Medford, Gerry is from the band "Ste. Gerard", formerly "GSB." Maria is formerly from "Synthesis" and "Full Moon" and a few acoustic duos here and there. Together now, they are collaborating and creating something very special, doing Acoustic Classic, Progressive, & Original Rock, playing to perfection those mysterious kinds of 70’s songs that only the most progressive radio stations would dare to play after the midnight hours, to that special brand of rebel seeking the deeper meanings of life and living.
We've added :The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald" by Gordon Lightfoot
And Finally...We are now finishing up Jackie Blue and recording the score to the Movie "Sea of Destiny"
Gerry Stafford is endorsed by Carlino Guitars
