AG:  Grand children, l love you very much and I sang all those songs, I sang all those songs that I learned during my life and... I hope that you you will listen to them. Probably none, most of them won't understand but I enjoyed singing them for you and l hope; l'm getting pretty old so... I don't think I'll sing very long. I won't sing very much now but. I couldn't sing too much 'cause l'm old. I wish you, I wish you a lot of love during your life, I wish you Merry Christmas and Happy New Year and everything that you desire during your life and I will say good bye and God bless you.
