I was recently at the El Mocambo with Theresa to watch Ingrid Michael­son, and one of the open­ing acts was David Ford. As soon as this guy hit the stage, he won my heart with his shear moxy at having many instru­ments that could record and repeat audio. He played them all, which involved him dash­ing around the stage singing into a micro­phone, or mash­ing the piano, or play­ing the guitar, or the mara­cas, etc.. He easily won top marks for the tech­ni­cal por­tion of the night. He was actu­ally fan­tas­ti­cally funny, and very, very Eng­lish. Com­plete with the swanky accent and a wit so dry that you could start a fire with it, he won over the crowd with his banter and his craft.
