When I was in Austin three years ago, my friend Bob marched me down to
the club Burbon Rocks just in time for the 10 pm show and told me "this
is the Guy you want to see."  Of course, Bob was right.  Guy Forsyth
played a combination of  blues, rock, folk and country.  Not only was
Guy a great guitar player, but he wore a utility belt with at least a
half dozen harmonicas, and yes he played them too.  Guy's lyrics were
socially and politically aware, but they never overwhelmed the music. 
On top of that, he was funny and charming.

When I got home, I checked Guy's web site and found that he didn't
venture out from the Austin area much.  But New York City is in luck
this weekend: Guy is playing three shows between now and Sunday.  Don't
miss this opportunity to see one of Austin's best.
