Thank you! I feel like if anyone did not see this event as a legitimate show, Tony will hopefully show people we are not messing around and want to make this a yearly show that is the real deal! We have close to 90% of the people that were at the first show coming back for this one, so that means a lot to us as well!

Tom, this is truly impressive. You ran a great show in version 1, but with the number and collective reputation of luthiers and performers at B.I.G. #2, you're taking it squarely into an International Guitar Event! Kudos for the vision, courage and raw work you and Kathy are investing to make it happen. Pretty soon Sir Paul will be asking you if he could please get an invite to perform at your home...
On my end I'm pushing to rewire Labor Day commitments - I'd love to join! |

I would consider Sir Paul should he ask politely. I have an inside story about a fellow who lives about an hour away from us in TX who has had his share of country hits, but we decided against his coming to the first one for fear of the distraction his entourage would cause LOL. I will gladly tell the story in person to anyone who comes, but probably best not told here! Still have some spots folks!!!! It is going to be epic!

Adding Tony McManus is an offer I can't refuse. I just need to make my bosses an offer they can't refuse.

Anyone else interested in coming, just shoot me a PM and I will get right back to you and answer any questions you may have or give you more info! We are starting to see some of the guitars that are being built for the show. The entertainment will be out of this world as well.

I may wind up bringing the two guitars I still have that I built back in the early 2000's as a member of L.I.N.T. I'll be excited to see, hear, and play the guitars that you and others will bring to this event.

B.I.G. is more than just guitars and music. It is about these interactions and long lost friends coming together. We have two sets of college mates coming that have not see each other for a long time. We have customers reuniting with luthiers and just friends from the first one coming again. It is so much more than just guitars. I think this really makes it unique.
Please reach out if interested, still have plenty of room, but some of the events of the weekend are getting close to full.
