  3. Jane Monheit swings into Museum of Art, Fort Lauderdale

    Jane Monheit knows firsthand the life-changing influence that music can have on a young life. As a schoolgirl growing up in the late 1980s on the south shore of Long Island, where the right jeans and the right sneakers were required, Monheit was all wrong. Her hair was wrong, her clothes were wrong and the music she favored was wrong.

    It's here. The holiday season. And with it, an ever-creeping onslaught of music stuffed with enough synthetic cheer to weave a polyester overcoat for Dodger Stadium.
