Somehow, this doesn’t feel like a Friday …

ONLINE FIND

■ We usually reserve this space for music that has been streamed, but it’s hard to resist sharing Nathaniel Rateliff’s new single “Willie’s Birthday Song.” The song, after all, made its debut on Willie Nelson’s 4/20 online festival “Come & Toke It,” and it’s a tune that honors Mr. Nelson’s 87th birthday on April 29. “Willie’s Birthday Song” is part of Rateliff’s series “The Marigold Singles,” which raises money for his nonprofit, the Marigold Project. The video for the song — featuring a group of family and friends who filmed their performances remotely — will come out on Nelson’s birthday.

■ A GoFundMe campaign has been started for employees of the Teragram Ballroom and the Moroccan Lounge. Donate.

■ A GoFundMe campaign has been started for employees of the Satellite. Donate.

■ A GoFundMe campaign has been started for employees of the Hi Hat. Donate.

■ The Hotel Café is soliciting donations via it tickets page, with 100% of the proceeds going to employees who are jobless because the venue is shuttered. Donate.

■ The Bootleg Theater, which is operated by the nonprofit Rampart Theater Project, sent out a message to patrons thanking them for past support and noting that tax-deductible donations may still be made. Donate here. There is also a GoFundMe campaign. Donate here.

■ The 1933 Group, owner of 11 establishments including Highland Park Bowl, both Bigfoot Lodges, the Sassafras Saloon and the Thirsty Crow, is taking a novel approach to fundraising: They’re selling “bonds.” Essentially gift certificates, the bonds are worth $100 in future purchases, and they’re being sold at a discount for $80. More information here.

■ DoLA— the popular website and email newsletter that’s a virtual city guide to all things music, arts and culture — is soliciting donations for its staff. Like many outlets who depend on marketing dollars (including this site), DoLA’s revenue has plummeted to zero because of the lockdown. Their plea is simple: help us stay in business.

■ Amoeba Music has started a GoFundMe to help their three stores (their flagship Berkeley, San Francisco, and relocating Hollywood locations) which have been shuttered since mid-March. More info and donations accepted here.
