Quarantine Online Sets: Version 76

The last Wonder & Awe series of 2020 occurred last Monday. Per Brenda Carsey who puts on the weekly series, said she plans to take a few weeks off at the start of 2021 so this was the last one for a few weeks.


Glacial Palms opened up the round from Silverlake. The three siblings played in their living room. A Christmas tree decked out in all white decorations and their TV had a recording of a fireplace. The song they sang had an Irish/"Once" sound to it. It just slowly unfolded for us. They used a loop recorder to provide additional guitar music.

Ali May Angel came in from West Hollywood. She was having some sound issues, but it didn't matter too much. Her song "You Only Call Me After Midnight" had a deep blues country sound to it. Throughout the round, she also had thoughtful comments about everyone's song. 

Harry Katz came in from Hollywood. His room had a panel divider up to separate the living room from his concert area. He started his first song and then had to quickly stop playing. His headphones were getting in the way of his playing. With that taken care of, he played with Southern rock flair. He took his pick playing up a notch. Brenda Carsey said of his song, "Rustic beauty of a voice." 

Closing out the round was Brenda Carsey coming from Pasadena. Her song was "Bang Bang." It was a song about gun violence. The song dealt with sorrow and frustration with both slams and tender touches of the keyboard. I could really see that song in a Pixar movie when it deals with a particularly sad moment of the story.
