Pretty soon, I have to save something to add to the suspense, but they are booked and ready to go! I am waiting for official bios as well so I do not post anything inaccurate.

I can't wait! It'll be a pleasure to see everyone again and participate in this celebration. Looking so forward to meeting up with good friends and colleagues again. This will be the biggest B.I.G yet!
I've gotten a good head start this year, and already have two show guitars in the finishing rotation. Another one is very close to fully built; and a fourth one with the soundbox about half done. I'm planning on having them all done and strung up well before the show, so they'll be awake and singing. I love working with this kind of inspiration!

I'm really looking forward to this next B.I.G. The last one was fabulous and now that I know some of the people who will be attending, I can look forward to getting together again! What a treat!

I've always thoroughly enjoy seeing all the pictures and videos from BIG. Looking forward to seeing who you will have performing.

Here is a tease for one of the performers, maybe someone will figure it out! XXXXXXX is a frequent performer at concerts and festivals in Asia, the Americas, Europe and Africa and has been featured in guitar magazines all over the world. Every year, he teaches workshops and master classes all over the place and his album “XXXXXX XXXXX” was voted an 'essential album' by Acoustic Guitar Magazine in 2007. His peculiar guitar style owes as much to percussive techniques as traditional Fingerstyle guitar. What sets XXXX apart from some of his contemporaries is his ability to make pyrotechnics serve the music. His time studying West African traditional music gives him a sense of timing and groove that is unusual in a guitarist. “Lovely playing, lovely sound” - David Gilmour “10/10 Gomms” - Jon Gomm “probably shouldn’t be legal” - Guthrie Govan

Well needless to say, I'm in for B.I.G. 2022!
I'll be bringing the result of the last B.I.G. (Urlacher Pink Ivory Parlor). Rebecca and I also plan on getting in a few rounds of golf for those that may want to join in as we swing the crooked sticks. I'm super excited to see your surprise guest, who I believe has a signature Lowden to his credit? Many thanks again to Tom and Kathy for hosting this awesome event. If you haven't been, I can assure you it is worth attending. It is unlike any other guitar show, and is really more like a gathering of family and friends. --------------------- PS. I too am very fond of guitars!

In terms of golf, I have reserved at least one day for me and my daughter with Rebecca too!

It may make it to that "other" show if it comes back from finish in time

Yes, those "other" shows. B.I.G. is nothing but a breath in the wind to them, but I think it is great!

Speaking of Great! Here is a video of the Saturday night performer who in addition to a concert will be doing a workshop as well. None other than Mr. Thomas Leeb!!!!
Here is a little write up about Thomas! Thomas Leeb is a frequent performer at concerts and festivals in Asia, the Americas, Europe and Africa and has been featured in guitar magazines all over the world. Every year, he teaches workshops and master classes all over the place and his album “Desert Pirate” was voted an 'essential album' by Acoustic Guitar Magazine in 2007. His peculiar guitar style owes as much to percussive techniques as traditional Fingerstyle guitar. What sets Thomas Leeb apart from some of his contemporaries is his ability to make pyrotechnics serve the music. His time studying West African traditional music gives him a sense of timing and groove that is unusual in a guitarist. “Lovely playing, lovely sound” - David Gilmour “10/10 Gomms” - Jon Gomm “probably shouldn’t be legal” - Guthrie Govan

It was an ability to try out so many amazing instruments in quiet environments back to back with everyone so approachable that is just unbeatable. |

Boy this sounds like a great time. I was supposed to go to the first BIG and life threw me a curveball and I wasn’t able to go…have regretted it ever since. We all know Tom is just a super guy and I hear he’s got this “show” thing nailed…and it just gets better each year. I think those “other shows” might want/need to take notice. Not that it’s a competition, but acknowledging that this ‘now’ Texas guitar dude has found a magical recipe of fellowship, fun, food, great entertainment and…ahem…great guitars!!! Maybe it should be called “Great BIG” Who knows, maybe I’ll get to go someday…
