Stevie IS Happy! And We're ECSTATIC!!




Just got word from Stevie Nicks tour manager that she was completely blown away by the PS22 Chorus rendition of her song "Landslide!" He said she asked him to replay 2 times afterwards, crying each time she watched! Talk about humbling....

    I must say, I have followed you guys since you did some of Tori Amos' songs from her last album, and then she came out and met you guys. It's amazing what you do.

    I'm a HUGE Stevie Nicks/Fleetwood Mac fan, and I hope you guys can work it out to be there in Madison Square Garden. That would be HUGE! Stevie Nicks is a goddess! Love her!

    From singing Sinead O’ Connor & Billy Bragg on the New Paltz quad to sharing your gift to the world, and these beautiful children. I knew you were truly gifted. Keep up the wonderful work.

    It's happening! I love when karma makes a grand entrance. How exciting for you and your little singing angels and how special of Stevie to reach out. Just another extension of the most beautiful, timeless song ever. Hearty congratulations! Inform me of any further details you'd like shared on my fan blog, too!

    I just saw your YouTube video of Landside on another blog. It was really beautiful. I have to admit Mr. B., your line at the end was my favourite part. It really showed a lot of passion for your kids and what your do. Don't Stop! ;-)

    Mr. B, You have an incredible gift that you're sharing it with these children and touching so very many lives. What a wonderful way to teach compassion, kindness and love.

    I found Landslide on Perez's site and I've been listening to PS22 songs all night with my children. They truly have the voices of angels.

    Keep posting, keep up your incredible effort. It's music like this that helps keep hope for the future alive.

    I just saw the youtube video of your group singing Landslide on a blog and thought it was awesome! As a retired special ed teacher, I know that music can reach students when other things can't. I'm really proud of your kids but I know your leadership has been their guide. Keep up the good work!

  42. Chris McLeodJune 8, 2009 at 9:02 PM

    I'm assuming that PS22 is no longer slated to perform with Fleetwood Mac at Madison Square Garden, considering that you deleted that part from your blog post. Is this correct?

    ReplyDelete
  43. Mr. BJune 8, 2009 at 9:04 PM

    hi chris, we will only be performing it for the band during soundcheck. it is going to be a surprise for stevie, and then the kids will have dinner with the band. apparently the tour manager and i somehow got our wires crossed when we had our initial conversation. ;)
