Just wanted to drop the New York Flyers a quick message. Love your music. When I first saw you guys in the early 80's in Syracuse, I said, who are these guys? Their Awesome! Immediately bought your album and it became one of my favorites. Fast forward to 2021. I'm a retired Lieutenant Colonel who served our country 24 years on active duty in the Army and served in three combat zones. I've been teaching JROTC in a High School for 11 years as my retirement job. I was just reminiscing the other day on the great music from the 80's and immediately went to apple music to look up the New York Flyers. Unable to find you guys in Apple Music, I went to you tube and found you and saw some of your recent gigs. It is awesome to see your still playing and your passion for music. Love your music! Always have and always will! Keep Rockin!

OMG! I'm so glad you guys are still playing! I lived near Allen's in Scotia NY, I did not miss a single show of yours! Some memories are fuzzy now, although they were then too! I still have amongst my cherished possessions a poster signed by all of you and any recordings you had done back then, including 45's! Oh, and Chris, I have one of your guitar picks with your name on it! I can still sing "sooner the better" or "talk to me Marie" by heart. Crazy good memories! Thanks guys!

Hi Tim,
Good to hear from you. 1981 or so sounds about right for this video. We recorded Pink Lightning and wanted to do a video but thought a "live" video would be better since we played out so much back then. I can't recall where we shot the video but we took the picture for a promotional poster at Al's Warehouse in Oswego so maybe there??
Take care and stay safe. Chris

Hello, hope everyone is safe and healthy..... Just viewed the electrifying video for the song Pink Lightning on your Facebook page. Just when I thought I had viewed everything the band has done I get this pleasant surprise ! I was just hoping you could give a little history on the video (year, where it was shot , etc) I am guessing 1981 ? Can’t wait to see the New York Flyers in concert again ! Thanks fellas.....

Hi Barb,
Thank you for the message. Yes, I remember Anita! It's great that the songs bring back fond memories. Here's another website with New York Flyer info: https://www.reverbnation.com/newyorkflyers

Best, Chris

Hi I am Barb originally from Florida. Back in the early 80’s
I was 13 years old.
I received 2 albums that year the New York Flyers & AC/DC. Both the albums came from Phil bc he knew my big sister Anita very well & asked her who my favorite band was. She told him AC/DC & he purchased that album for me.
Both albums were a wonderful introduction to great rock and roll. So I was pleasantly surprised to find your website & original album. Listening to the songs is pure nostalgia for me & though most days I can’t remember why I went to the other room, for some reason I remember almost every word to all the songs. I had no idea the group was still/back together so now I have to check out your new music too. Thank you!
You made my day. Hope things are good in NYC For you during this crazy year. #RockOn 🎶

Grew up in 1000 island area saw them many times at Eagle Hotel Philadelphia, NY and Watertown etc.

still have a set of Earl's drumsticks

New Year's Eve, Allen's, Scotia, NY, 1980 ... on the bill, 805 + New York Flyers. Wow, nights like those just went on forever ... until they didn't. Damn.

I remember seeing the band at Alexanders in Watertown. This was very soon after the release of VH 1, and Chris Tso played Eruption note for note as I recall. I was very impressed with that. Long before the days of YouTube tutorials, he had it down. Nothing worse than a watered down version of that solo, and there were many, so I always remembered how good this band was. The band has my attention to this very day.

seen you guys up at the old barn ages ago
