JIM THIEDE-LIVE WITH BERNADETTE KATHRYN & THE LONELY DAYS BAND-ALGONAC, MICHIGAN-BEIER 1.5 STEEL--6.5 X 14....

Live music is beginning again....And let us all just hope it comes back full swing, as soon as possible. 

Jim Thiede was out live last week on his main gig with Bernadette Kathryn & The Lonely Days Band. Was great to see as always he had his main....Beier 1.5 Steel--6.5 x 14. This has been his top choice for his live work since ordering one from Huber Breese Music. That came about because of Gary Keith Johnson of Canopus Drums & The Lohden Boys.

Great to see you and the band out again Jim. Thank You Again for your support, and Thank You as always Gary Keith Johnson.....





Randy Jordan of Huber Breese Music & Jim Thiede

DWAIN MESSER-NEW SINGLE RELEASED FROM FORTHCOMING ALBUM-PRODUCED BY NASHVILLE LEGEND MARK BECKETT-BEIER 1.5 STEEL--4 X 15...

Dwain Messer is releasing a single from his forthcoming full-length album today on all major platforms...Ease My Troubled Mind. Nashville legend, Mark Beckett (Grand Ole Opry, Olivia Newton John, Nashville Sessions), was the Producer for the record, and played drums on it.

I was really fortunate to have received a copy of this record some time ago from Dwain. I played it through numerous times, and absolutely love it. It is a very traditional & old school sounding country record....It is a story from start to finish. Add in Mark Becketts's drumming skills, and live room sounding recording technique...It is simply a record that has to be heard. 

Many Thanks Again Dwain for sending me a copy of this, and Thank You as always Mark Beckett for using your 1.5 Steel--4 x 15 on this
