Dave was born when he was very young and was “special” enough to require two mothers (in addition to a father). Dave’s musical experiences are rather vast and wide. He has performed in Elvis impersonation groups, symphony orchestras, jazz big bands, Motown tribute groups, and all types of rock bands. He loves all manner of music that contains rhythm, harmony, and especially notes – notes are his favorite.

Dave plays guitar but has had a lifelong and secret desire to be a drummer, which was the one instrument both of this mothers and his father refused to allow in the house. Instead he settled on French horn. At the rebellious age of 15 he found disco, fusion jazz, and electric guitar and he's never looked back. Radio Flyer is a perfect match for Dave as it allows him to perform a wide range of musical styles without getting funny looks from his band mates.

Dave has been honkin' his way through night clubs since he was too young to be in those establishments legally. Influenced by rock and roll sax men like Grady Gaines, Sam "The Man" Taylor and the great Mr. Lee Allen (hardly house-hold names), as opposed to the "road more traveled" giants like John Coltrane and Charlie Parker, Dave's approach to playing both sax and blues harp is to find the note in a phrase that makes one's soul ache and milk it for all it's worth. He is thrilled to have found his way into Radio Flyer and looks forward to all of the bands upcoming gigs. When not Flyin' with RF he also appears with the legendary Kick Start Charlie, Sundog, a band he has been with for some 35 years as well as The Declan Powers Project, Inside Straight (a country western band that he co-founded), Al Mann and The River's Edge Band and the classic Disco band, Dancing Machine, soon to be debuted.

Mark Schaeffer got his first pair of sticks, a drum pad and basic drumming book from his Father at the age of five.  Playing the “Tom-Tom” and triangle in kindergarten lit a spark in Mark that exists to this day.  Hearing the likes of Buddy Rich and Gene Krupa on his Mother’s “78’s” turned that spark into a roaring flame!  Mark knew the drums were for him.

In his teens, Mark played with bands in Brooklyn and went on to play wedding gigs, club dates and many popular New York City clubs.  One of his fondest memories is recording a demo for RCA Records with his band Legion in 1977 at Electric Lady Studios.  The famed NYC studio owned by the late Jimi Hendrix.

Mark’s varied style is reminiscent of many of his drumming idols including Rich, Bellson, Roach, Williams, Bonham, Seraphine, Palmer, Gadd, Beauford, Colaiuta, Weckl and many more.

Mark Founded Radio Flyer in 2001.
