The crowd at Beverly Glenn-Copeland’s concert wasn’t, perhaps, what you’d expect for an eighty-year-old. Throngs of young queer people (masked, as was required) packed in like sardines. Glenn, as the Canada-based musician likes to be called, was helped onstage onto a cushioned lounge chair. A throne from which to sing, arms outstretched: “Welcome to you, both young and old.”
When that nasty cold was going around in March, Ellis Ludwig-Leone had lost his voice, pulling down a mask to whisper directions, Gollum-like, into the microphone: “‘Can’t Unsee It’ straight into ‘No Devil.’”
