Despite the double-digit temperatures and disturbing lack of snow, it clearly is the holiday season. Club schedules are filled with food-bank drives, shelter fundraisers and other feel-good benefit gigs. It’s one of the few times the music industry looks beyond itself and can be called charitable. Do your bit. Give generously, and pray for snow.
