Rod Piazza & The Mighty Flyers

I was young, wide-eyed, and still trying to figure out what the blues music really meant beyond the records I'd been listening to.

And then Rod Piazza & the Mighty Flyers walked onto that Bluesfest stage.

They were electric.

A band with a swagger, a swing, and that unmistakable West Coast polish that I love so much.

Hey, it's Alex Schultz, and you're listening to Blues With a Feeling with Shaun Bindley.

It was an interesting, you know, set of circumstances.

And what had happened, sort of by default, I had, um, I had managed to play on quite a few records, uh, and I had become something of a, of a studio guy in addition to the fact of, of seven years straight with Rod Piara and the Mighty Flyers and a few years before that with William Clarke's band.

Uh, but I was doing a l- playing on a lot of people's records around Los Angeles area, which was wonderful, and I really enjoyed it.
