2013: A STUDY IN BLACK & WHITE, PART IV

Guy Forsyth at the Groove Into The Fall Music Jam at Sam's Burger Joint Sept. 28.

And so at last we come to the final installment of this four-part series – 2013: A Study in Black & White. It was fun reliving a year’s worth of wondrous music with good friends at great venues.

Looking through the photos gave me some ideas of what I want to do next. If you’ve seen any of my photo albums, you may notice I try and include my “signature shot” at every show. It's my "shoe shot." Or more specifically, footwear, or the lack thereof.

Boots. Sandals. Converse All Stars. Barefoot. Stilettos. I’ve shot ‘em all. So stay tuned – that will be the next post for The Groovy Gringa.

But for now, let’s get back to 2013. Part IV begins and ends with the musical virtuoso himself – Guy Forsyth.
