Still Charming, Still Great
by EMandM on 2/16/10Red Light Cafe - AtlantaForbert once again appeared solo at the Red Light solo, and once again won over an initially gabby audience with his boyish charm and highly idiosyncratic approach to singing and playing guitar ( a wonderful sounding acoustic with wear marks the would make Willie Nelson proud). The interesting phrasing of some of the older material really brought it to life, and some of the songs had wonderful additional lyrics that are not on the recordings. A top notch show at an excellent small venue. I highly recommend the Red Light, and, of course, Forbert. I do wonder whatever became of the Rough Squirrels, though. Sound man Zane (I think that was the name Forbert said) did an excellent job, and the sound in the audience was perfect.
