NOTE FROM JEFF:

Since 1988, the Special Olympics has raised money
through the kindness and generosity of artists
who’ve donated their performances of Christmas
songs for a series of CDs called “A Very Special Christmas.”
But usually, they’re pop and rock’n'roll artists.
Where are all the hard rock and heavy metal bands??
