	<p>Close to 30 people, surrounded by good food and good vibes, crammed into Yummies Restaurant on Dixwell Avenue this past Saturday evening to enjoy an open-mic&nbsp;coffeehouse sponsored by the Winchester Revitilization Art Project,&nbsp;or <span class="caps">WRAP</span>.&nbsp;A&nbsp;live band backed audience members as they either sang, performed spoken word, or both. Classically-trained opera singer and city schools’ music teacher Dana Fripp performed a&nbsp;tribute to Etta James, her classic <span class="push-double"></span>​<span class="pull-double">“</span>At&nbsp;Last.”</p>


			
	<p>Click on the play arrow to watch&nbsp;highlights.</p><p>The evening’s emcee, Leviticus (aka Cody Norris), kept audience members, who ranged from age 7&nbsp;through older adults, engaged and entertained. They knew his material, requesting his spoken-word piece, <span class="push-double"></span>​<span class="pull-double">“</span>Man With Iron&nbsp;First.”</p><p><span class="dquo">“</span>No, do it at the end” a&nbsp;band member said. Leviticus complied. Instead of the spoken-word piece, he talked about his bout with homelessness this past summer, how he walked from Columbus House on Ella Grasso Boulevard through the Hill every morning at 6&nbsp;a.m.&nbsp;<span class="push-double"></span>​<span class="pull-double">“</span>I did it just to, just to get with these brothers, and play my music … You know, the Hill looks like a&nbsp;whole different place at that hour,” he remarked with a&nbsp;laugh. He did several different pieces during the evening, including one about his relationship with his&nbsp;son..</p><p>The audience was plied with coffee, finger food and delicious cake. (Point of disclosure: This reporter usually doesn’t eat on the job, but she had some of the lemon poundcake and can say it’s absolutely-better-than-good.) Yummies has been around for about a&nbsp;year. <span class="caps">WRAP</span> coordinator Gerald Moore said he walked into the restaurant to drop off fliers about the program and struck up a&nbsp;conversation with owner Virginia Cordero. He&nbsp;decided it would be a&nbsp;good place to hold the first coffeehouse of the new&nbsp;year.</p><p>The event ended with everyone doing the <span class="push-double"></span>​<span class="pull-double">“</span>Electric Slide” line&nbsp;dance.</p><p>Moore said <span class="caps">WRAP</span> conducts after-school programs in art, painting, sculpture, theater, spoken word, chess, academic support, three-dimensional design and media technology. It has also been working with young people in the <span class="push-double"></span>​<span class="pull-double">“</span>Your Place” program sponsored by St. Andrew’s&nbsp;Church.</p><p>The coffeehouses are usually held at Science Park on the last Saturday of the&nbsp;month..</p>
