The New Era Project

And Then Came, Raleigh... "Why yoouu..."

My House, in the Middle of the Street. On Fulton Avenue, in Walkersville, MD. This is a picture of the house that I rented on Fulton Ave. in Walkersville. (April 25th, 2009). I lived here for something like 11 years of my life (from Nov. 2001 to Nov. 2012) during my stay in the state of Maryland...

"And Then, Winter Came..." This picture was taken during the month of Feb. 2010 (in my backyard in Walkersville, MD) a few days after several of the biggest snowstorms to hit the area in something like a hundred years!

Vito in Walkersville "Time to venture out..."

Vito in Walkersville-2 The snow finally begins to recede...

Me and Ole' Nellie The dependable car that initially took me from Long Island, N.Y. to the state of Maryland...

Man, do I look tired... This is the room in my house, back in Walkersville, MD, where I recorded: 'The Walkersville Sessions' album, as well as, the 'And Then, Winter Came' EP, and quite a few other tracks...

Inside my house in Walkersville "It's much warmer in here."

Inside my house in Walkersville-2 "Well, I look at it this way..."

Inside my house in Walkersville-3 "But, what does it all mean?"

Inside my house in Walkersville-4 My own little niche in the world; listening to music, and just loving the internet. (I think the PC, and the World Wide Web, is such a brilliant invention). Here, I am getting ready to experiment with doing a video blog. "Hey, what happened to my pencil?"

"Music is My Weapon!" You can have ya' freakin' guns. "But just please don't kill Bambi. O.K.?"

"A Door Closes Behind Me" This picture was taken at "Picture Me Studios", in Frederick, MD, around Jan. 2009...

Dennis' house in Lindenhurst, Long Island The other two original members of The New Era Band: Dennis Marques & Steve Miller. This picture was taken right before we left to attend the wake of a friend by the name of: Steve Hallahan. Not too long after this, I relocated to Maryland, in July 2000...

The New Era at February's This is an ad from a Long Island music and entertainment paper called: "Good Times", regarding one of the popular Long Island Night Clubs that The New Era Band once headlined...

Two of four of the best grandparents in the whole world! God rest their souls...

All Grown Up Now This picture was taken probably during one of our holiday gatherings, quite possibly on Easter, and one of the last photos taken of my closest first cousins, and my sister and me, all together...

Me and my Gibson SG Probably, till this day, the best guitar I had ever owned: the Gibson SG Deluxe. A real classic. (And most likely, worth allot of money today). I was only about 16 yrs old when this picture was taken, back in Lindenhurst, Long Island...

Me, my Sister, and Santa Clause This picture was taken by my mother about a year after my father had passed, back in Fairlawn, New Jersey. We tried to make the best of it, but I still missed him very much. I definitely give my mother allot of credit; it must have been really hard...

Holiday Family Gathering Another picture of my immediate family many years ago, during the Holidays, where I am sitting on my father's lap as a young kid. I believe this picture was taken by my Uncle Nicky, at my grandparents 2nd home on Long Island...

Holiday Family Gathering-II From what I remember, this picture was taken at my grandparents 2nd home on Long Island, while they still had their apartment in Harlem, where my grandmother had her own little business; while my parents, sister, and me, lived in New Jersey at the time...

Early Christmas Photo A picture of my closest first cousins, my sister, and me, at my Aunt Anna & Uncle Pat's house in Lindenhurst, Long Island, when we still lived in New Jersey...

A Boy and his Toy Truck Life in our Bronx apartment, as a little kid...

Me and my Little Victrola Like my parents, I loved music from a very early age, and used to spend hours at a time entertaining myself with some of the latest Top 40 records, that my father would bring home for me to listen to...
