A
My
name
is
Helen
Mulroney
and
I'm.
90
years
old,
a
good
man
is
hard
to
find.
We
go
out
and
perform
for
people.
They
have.
You
know
they're,
always
looking
for
entertainment,
that's
one
thing:
they
different
clubs
and
we
go
out
and
entertainment.
We
call
him.
The
merrymakers
they've
been
the
merrymakers
since
1972.
A
He's
a
schoolteacher
and
I
had
the
seventh
and
eighth
grade
because
I
like
that
particular
grave
and
my
dear
friend,
and
she
was
a
dear
friend
for
a
few
minutes
and
then
she
says
Mary
Helen
McFadden
would
like
to
have
a
piano
player.
Why
don't
you
try
for
that
and
I
said
no
I
like
I,
like
what
I'm
doing
and
she
kept
after
me
bugging
me.
So
I
went
and
I
got
the
job
I'm
still
with
them
right.
A
B
B
Around
and
find
him
full,
she
is
so
easygoing
that
it's
a
pleasure
to
be
around
her.
She
is
never
critical.
She
accepts
us
all,
she's
easy
to
make
a
joke,
she's
so
relaxed
that
men
and
women
get
along
with
her
so
well,
and
she
just
one
of
those
people
enjoyed
being
around
and
she
just
her
fingers
just
fly.
You
just
love
your
music
because
it
good
you
just
can't
keep
still.
