Jeffrey Sitcov,Photocharity founder, firstmet Tyler the first day hecame into the SDYSStorefront shelter when hewas 16. Photocharity, SDYSStorefront�s largest privatedonor for thirteen years,started a Music & Art

program at Storefront that changed Tyler�s life. The first night Tyler arrived he participated in the musicprogram. The first time he played a guitar he was hooked. Henever put that guitar down while at Storefront. After Tyler leftStorefront to live with his mom (she quit taking drugs afterseeing the changes in Tyler.) Photocharity continued to mentorTyler for the next eight years. Tyler was the ONLY homelessyouth that came backevery Tuesday nightthe music program.He wanted to giveback and help otherhomeless youthbecause he got somuch out of theprogram. Today, with thesupport ofPhotocharity, De LosReyes, 25, is nowworking his dreamjob and was recentlyhonored by thePadres as anoutstanding employeein his field. Click onor copy and paste thelink here to see the story about Tyler that appeared in the UT:http://www.utsandiego.com/news/2014/sep/11/photocharity-homeless-teen-tyler-de-los-reyes/ Tyler is a role model for other homeless youth!

CD Review.......WRAPPED UP AND READYThe Mannish BoysDelta Groove

As we�ve come toexpect from theMannish Boys,here�s anothercavalcade ofaccomplishedblues artistspumping out a setof superbperformances foryour listeningenjoyment.Overflowing withtalent from allsides, the MannishBoys and their

guests feature eleven vocalists, including Sugaray Rayford,Candye Kane and Trenda Fox. On guitar, Kirk Fletcher, FranckGoldwasser, Kid Ramos, Monster Mike Welch, Laura Chavez,Steve Freund and Nico Duportal take turns displaying theirtalents. Randy Chortkoff, Kim Wilson, Bob Corritore and Jacob�Walters� Huffman spice things up on harmonica. With JimiBott and guest Dave Kida on drums, Fred Kaplan and RichWenzel on piano and organ, Ron Dzuibla on sax, and Willie J.Campbell and Bill Stuve on bass, there�s enough talent on thisCD to fill two or three albums with solid, enjoyable tracks. Theenergy level stays at the maximum from beginning to end. The sixteen songs vary from swing to a soaring �Blues forMichael Bloomfield,� each one a winner. After Sugaray andMonster Mike grab you on the opening track (�I Ain�t Sayin�,�written by Welch), you�ll find a few interpretations of well-known classics (Ike Turner�s �I Idolize You,� Magic Sam�s�She Belongs to Me,� and Roy Brown�s �Everything�s Alright�)interspersed among some great numbers written by Chortkoffand other bandmembers. The musicians are all soaccomplished, and the Delta Groove production team is sogreat that they can�t help but put out another excellent release.They make perfection seem so easy. Seven albums and stillgoing strong. ~ DM
