Netrhythms 'Front
Page Favourites' focuses on
MICHAEL MESSER & HIS RESONATOR
GUITARS
'Guitar King' Messer has made a brave leap into the
guitar industry with his own brand of budget-priced reproductions of 1930s
National resonator guitars. There are two models - The Michael Messer BLUES, and
The Michael Messer LIGHTNING.
Good times, hard times - there is never a bad
time to sing the blues!

Matt's a powerful young blues man from Canada. Do
check him out - he has the songs, the chops, and a voice which happily blasts
the blues-rockers and seduces on the gentle heartbreakers.
Love, Sue
