After his opening act finally schlepped off stage (not that she wasn’t good, I was just anxious for Guy to get started!), Guy Forsyth sat down in a chair on the roomy stage at Poor David’s new location in south Dallas last night and proceeded to serenade the room with his fantastic voice and a softer approach than normal. It was just Guy and a single other person on stage (she offered occasional raps on her bongo-ish drum thingies … musicians, please help me out with the terminology?!?!). Very much the “acoustic” show we’d been promised. As requests for his “drinking and sex” songs flooded, he instead played his own spin on classics like “As Time Goes By.” It wasn’t what I expected. But it was really good.
I only wish I could buy some of the acoustic stuff!
