I'm terrible with names, but I do remember they all look good and are able to sing.

Here at my work, 20 odd years ago we had the widow of one of the Dorsey Brothers apply for a job though Green Thumb, a program for down on their luck seniors. Their salary is paid by a government program, so no cost to the business. The list of things she couldn't do {like answer the phone, type, make copies etc. etc.} was almost half a page long. We decided even for free, she wasn't worth the cost.
