PS22 Chorus "Landslide" for Stevie Nicks

http://ps22chorus.blogspot.com

On June 11th, the PS22 Chorus performed its rendition of "Landslide" for Stevie Nicks at Madison Square Garden. Stevie was incredibly gracious and kind to all of us, as you can see for yourselves. She gave every child individual attention and reminded them that anything is within their grasp. (CASE AND POINT!!)

The audio on the video is very low, but of course this had to be posted even if there was no sound at all! The kids added a little piece of another Fleetwood Mac hit,"Silver Springs", as an intro to their performance to great effect! And watching Stevie leading the kids from the aisle at MSG is my outstanding memory of the chorus singing the song for her, so I'm glad the videographers caught that. It's too bad it's not in smell-o-vision, because this won't capture the KIDS' most outstanding memory of the day -- how good Stevie smelled!!

Thanks go to Fleetwood Mac, their management and friends (particularly Karen for sending the pics and video footage for the kids to see), Perez Hilton (for requesting and posting our version of the song), and of course to Stevie Nicks. You completely left us inspired!

Who said that the arts are dead in our public schools. Obviously this wonderful teacher is making a difference. I hope he gets lots of recognition for what he does. I am sure he is an inspiration to many!

Did you hear that sound? The sound of their voices. You can not sound like that unless you are emotionally connected to the music. What you are seeing is 10 and 11 year old children really connecting to what they are singing. It is not a performance for you or the camera. I am sorry you have such a jaded view of this exceptional group of children.

Absolutely the sweetest thing ever. And how gracious and loving of Stevie to hug each and every one of those children. At Fleetwood Mac's concert that night she dedicated Landslide to them.

This is beautiful. The kids connecting to the music and then Stevie. Some of these kids will be victims of bullying, many of them will have low self esteem, some of them will be gay and will be hated for just being who they are, some of them will be in abusive environments, some of them will simply feel like they just don't fit in...all of these things cause such enormous damage to youth...but none of it mattered in this moment, they were all valued and special. The power of music. Just lovely.

The Goddess of Rock couldn't have heard a better version than this! Thank you Gregg for once again restoring my faith in life..and for reminding me that beauty, love and positivity is alive and kicking. You are truly a wonderful man. =)

This is amazing. So beautiful, so touching. That teacher is also a true inspiration for doing all this for these kids. Go public school teachers and union workers!

I've wanted to be hugged by Stevie Nicks for 36 years.
