It's been a few years since brothers Andy and Jayme Ralph of Writer moved east to pursue arts careers, but we always hold them in high esteem in the San Diego music family. When a missing person flyer was circulating about Jayme a little over a month ago, the local music community kicked in high gear to spread the word far and wide. It turned out that Jayme had suffered something called an intracerebral hemorrhage, which caused a seizure. Without any of his personal belongings on him at the time, he was admitted to the hospital as a John Doe and later, the neighbor who had called for help saw the missing person posters and connected the dots. It's all horribly tragic and after a month, Jayme has been moved out of ICU and is breathing on his own and slowly returning to consciousness, but he has a long road to recovery and medical bills mounting in the meantime. Join the San Diego music scene in raising money for Jayme Ralph while catching Mrs. Magician, Hideout and Mt. Pleasant tonight at Soda Bar.
