Today's guests include Tomás and Manuel Delgado from the historic Candelas Guitar shop in the Boyle Heights District of East Los Angeles.

The brothers have created a custom guitar which pays tribute to the victims of the September 11, 2001 attack on America.

The plan is to have as many celebrity musicians as possible play the guitar before it is auctioned with all the proceeds going to the families of immigrants who were killed in the World Trade Center.

Candelas Guitars is located at 2724 East César Chávez Avenue. The telephone is (323) 261-2011. The website is at http://www.candelas.com/.

Also visiting is legendary Los Angeles musician Johnny Polanco whose Conjunto Amistád will open this year's Grand Performances series of free concerts at the California Plaza Watercourt in Downtown Los Angeles.

The Watercourt is located at 350 South Grand Avenue. Information is available at (213) 687-2159 and http://www.grandperformances.org/.
