Reading this? Then you’re
in touch with Big Wes Turner’s Trio.
Big Wes himself is not so easy to click on, call up, or pin down. You won’t find him on “social media.” The man doesn’t own a computer. Never has. And cell phones? “Ain’t those just itty bitty computers?” He’s never owned one of those, either.

If you want to connect
with Big Wes you just have to keep your eyes (and ears) open. If you’re in a
crowd and you sense a big presence, if you spot a certain kind of “man of
substance,” you know, a big fella, height-wise and girth-wise, dressed clean
but not fancy, who seems to be taking his sweet time but somehow moves in and
out of the moment with surprising speed (Wait! Where’d he go?), someone who is
obviously in-step with the rhythm section of the universe, who looks like he
could be humming himself a tune, who looks like he knows exactly where he’s
going and like he’s already there, well...
might be Big Wes.
might be Big Wes.
Although he has been known
to eagerly share photos of friends and family, the Big Man is one of those folks
who seem to have talent for evading cameras. Evidence of his presence remains
rare, but at ease or in action, Big Wes gets around. He’s traveled the world,
and for all the miles he’s logged up and down the backroads of the Midwest, he
could easily have circumnavigated the big ball a few more times. A lot of
people have seen him here or there, and a lot more say they’ve seen him, but seen
or unseen, when you hear some sweet pickin’ on a guitar that sounds like it’s been
down the road for more miles than most can imagine, well... rest assured that
you’re on the same wavelength as Big Wes. Set your worries aside and hum along.
