More On PS 22

So, after I posted that video on Friday of PS-22, I also took a look at all the YouTube videos of the chorus and watched some that I had not seen before. While digging through them I also found something from last month on The Bonnie Hunt show. Bonnie had the teacher from the chorus on her show and even though it is about 8 minutes long, I would say it is worth your time. This is a teacher who truly loves his job and really is an inspiration. Teachers don't get enough credit in this world and hopefully he can bring some much needed positive attention their way. Oh, and Bonnie could use the attention too. I think if about five of you watch the video that is probably more people than watch her show which is too bad because I love her.

And one more note. If you go digging around YouTube, there is a seven part series with the chorus and Tori Amos where she sings with them and cries listening to them and if you are a Tori Amos fan, you probably need to get in line behind the teacher because I thought he was going to pass out when he saw her.

    They are awesome. Their version of Landslide is very moving. They even have a very nice story about Fleetwood Mac.

  8. Amen cdoo!
    Too damn bad we pay more into sports then the arts. My schoolboard recently paid $40,000 to resod the football feild and is cutting funding for art classes. Priorities are messed up.
