Teachers, teachers. We’ve invited some of our nearest and dearest to help us express our indebtedness. Patrick. Stevie. My Jazzagals. And Ray. What better way to celebrate than through the benefaction of song ready team?

Many Speakers: (01:47)
Ready.

David Rose: (01:47)
Yeah. Although Patrick, why can’t we use the same computer?

Because the acoustics are better in the bedroom.

Okay.

Do I really have to do this?

And a lovely gift of gratitude for our teachers.

Moira, darling. I hope you didn’t mind that I jumped in like that. You all sounded so good that I had to get in on it.

I think I’m having a heart attack.

Mariah Carey: (04:52)
To all the teachers and professors, especially the ones who had to deal with students like me, who never really showed up at school on time. You rose to the occasion and helped these students reach the finish line.

Mariah Carey’s Kids: (05:04)
Can I get on the Zoom call?

Mariah Carey: (05:06)
No, you can’t get on the Zoom call. Sorry. And to the students who had to deal with this bleak moment, congratulations on this historic accomplishment.
