Hi I’m Gladys Today Mr. Raymond a singing inspector came to see us sing So Benny and Charles went first and they did not do very well But Mr.Raymond was so mean to them and call them idiots I thought that was a little harsh.

Well done Jesse you did well I was so nervous I was shaking and shivering I had to sing With Iris.
