JIM VOGT-LIVE WITH THE THNEEDS IN ALASKA-BEIER 1.5 STEEL--5.5 X 14.....

The Thneeds continue to play the Alaskan circuit live, and long time pal, and one of the first customers I had many years ago, Jim Vogt, continues to use his 1.5 Steel--5.5 x 14 with the band.

It is amazing to think about how long ago that was, and we have always stayed in touch. I have always followed the band, and I had hopes of sometime in my travels to make it to Alaska for a show. I still hope that can happen someday, and someday soon.

Thank You Jim for all of the years. It was so great to touch base recently. Will stay in touch as always.....

It was so great to see a long time friend recently...Frank Vilardi (Bacon Brothers, Donny Osmond, Jewel), live on the Bacon Brothers 2024 Freestanding Tour. 

Frank had along his 1.5 Steel--6.5 x 14 as his main, and his 1.5 Steel--4 x 15 as his auxiliary. It has been 10+ years he has used his drums from here as his main. I love this band, and have countless great memories from seeing them live, and my conversations with Frank. He has been such a great friend, and supporter, and I am really Thankful they get to this area as often as they do. 

Thank You Again my friend. Looking forward to seeing you soon already......

Through the years.....

THE EAGLES DON FELDER...BEIER 1.5 STEEL--4 X 15.....

Don Felder is one of the most legendary figures in Music...Of All-Time. He recently picked up a 1.5 Steel--4 x 15, and it really was a huge honor here. 

Seth Rausch (Don Felder, Carrie Underwood, Keith Urban, Little Big Town) had used his for live dates with Don, and he really liked the drum. He also commented to me how much he liked Seth's 1.5 Steel--5.5 x 12.

I enclosed a letter with the drum telling him as a kid I rode my bike to the Five & Dime to buy Already Gone. It still is my favorite song from The Eagles. Sending him a drum was quite the twist of time for me.

Thank You Again Don, and Thank You Seth Rausch & Ray Rebert.....
