“Jonah delivered that speech and killed it.
So wonderful! His diction, his enunciation… just top notch.
And I know this, I was the elocution champ in my school.”

“Boy, I thought I did well to memorize On His Blindness at 6 yrs of age.
This is MUCH more impressive. ‘Cookies’ would seem a very good idea,
under the circumstances. Nothing helps rotten provisions
go down smoother.” – Peg Hobbs, The Music School for the Inspired Spirit

“Incredible that he is so young and able to do this. Wow!”
