My Name is Jerry Tracy Schmidt. I am the original founding member of the band Alisyn Flyer. Although I started the band in Minneapolis circa 1975, we were based out of Seattle from about 1977 through early 1981. Most of the time, we were touring out of town and spent a year in both Hawaii and Alaska.

We booked with the William Stephan Agency.  The last nine months of the band were spent bouncing around the country as Stephan worked out a deal and released our contract to GMA out of Minneapolis.

I am still in contact with and know the whereabouts of, is David Huba (Springfield, MA)

Man do I have stories.  Heart ended up buying our semi when we disbanded in 81.  I actually have a photo of the old rig.

I have also included a recent photo (below) of me at a gig, Oct. 2009.  I'm in the process of building a new quality band now in between corporate BS.
