I cried my eyes out listening to Tori sing wiith these incredible kids.... There's something so powerful in the song Father's Son. I think what this music teacher has done for these kids is the exact opposite of "planting a seed of hate"; He has in fact planted a seed of hope.
well, actually i REALLY wanted to do the father's son thing cuz this was right when the album came out. i was thrilled that tori insisted on that one. no regrets here. :)
I really love that music teacher because he is doing something so much with his life by lifting others up in the process. To have a passion, study it, live it, share it the way he does is magical. He absolutely deserved every single moment of this glorious experience, and those sweet children as well. And hey Tori, what a gal! Gotta love her.. that voice! *dies*.
This may have been the most affirming thing I have seen in years. A great artist, a great teacher, a new generation of musicians/singers. The world is a better place.
I love coming back to these videos. Tori's voice is absolutely spectacular. She's so graceful and elegant too...though I've always felt that way about her.
omg!!! im crying..its so amazing. isaw her live last night...and..im still amazed and i cant get over it..i wish it would been all night long not only 2 hours and a half
This really renewed my respect for Tori's voice and music in a whole new way. I don't think I've ever seen her sing so well. I'm so happy. And I'm so happy for you and the kids, Greg.
I discovered her when I was 11 now being 27 I love love her, so peaceful your kids are so amazing and you are such an AWESOME AWESOME teacher. BRAVO :O) being from new orleans we see so much music here and your kids are one of the greats I think
OMG, I can't believe she finally met you guys!! I'm so moved!! I know it probably was the most important day of your life, Mr. B, and I'm so happy for you and for the kids!! Blessed you and Tori!
This is one of the most incredible things I have ever seen. I am in awe that she came to see and sing with you guys. Holy crap. And something else -- how often do we get to see her sing with a hand-held mike? Getting out from behind the piano??? So rare.
My friend and I love your videos and I was praying that Tori saw them because I knew she would want to sing with you guys. You have given these kids a great gift-maybe you can sing at the night of her NY tour?!
What an incredibly special woman Tori is and as for that lovely teacher and his brilliant, talented class...I'm speechless! It's really moving to see human kindness and generosity at it's best. That must have been a very special time for them all...incuding Tori. Thank you for uploading this remarkable experience.
She directed the choir at her dad's church when she was a young adult, and you can see her going into what must have been her leader mode for this. It's fantastic. Thanks so much for posting everything!!!
Waw this video is just AMAZING ! The kids are fantastic and Tori is so great with them ! These kids are very lucky to have such a great teacher ! Thank you for this beautiful moment, it gave me shivers ;0)
What a great song to sing with the kids, and still gives me chills everytime I hear it. She has a voice of an angel and so do the kids :o) Props to such an awesome music teacher too!! Your compositions rock dude!!!
Thats very nice of tori to make time for all those kids. It must be very inspirings for all those kids to meet the person that they have been singing songs by. I have great respect for tori as a song writter and now as a person.
Now...that is a TRUE artist...to take the time to come & sing w/ the children:))) Tori is my favorite composer!!!...sooooo beautiful; both she & the children singing & you:)))) Thx so much for this!!! Mua;-)
ha! i think our lady is taking a well-deserved rest and probably recording at ALL is the last thing on her mind! but don't think i don't appreciate the thought! :) thanks!
This is apsolutley pricless and I would of PAID to see your kids and Tori do this, if they ever do a concert together I and thousands of others would attend Im sure!!!
Also, think of the impact and magic of this situation. Father's Son is about social cycles that kill a person's humanity, "Plant another seed of hate In another Father's Son." Toris elixir, woven into this album, has shown through; she is truly gifted, warm, and brilliant. Her sonic herbs are being rooted, and it is captured here. "Through the Looking Glass, Ruby sees things in you, things in me she won't wanna' be, just a little light, turning the key, at the root, what I miss she will carry."
This is so wonderful for you! You're obviously really extatic. Right, and just so you know: "Smokey Joe" isn't just Pip; it's a duet with Pip and Santa.
i was thinking that same thing...these kids need to be in the recording studio with her...something about a child choir can turn any song into something beautiful yet tragic at the same time. Would LOVE for you guys to do a Cat power cover..
Greg i never noticed this till my girlfriend told me. Tori had gum in her mouth while she sang that song. after she is done singing she starts chewing on it again.
Thank you! My guitar is nothing. But her voice was in rare form..... We were priveleged! She was feeling it.

What! So Amazing! Tori is so sweet. I have always been a fan of Tori Amos and of PS22.
I've never heard such a beautiful voice from someone singing live. Truly remarkable.

Chills! Tears! This is just excellent.
Outstanding videos and great website. You guys did great and Tori was unreal. I'm happy for you all that she came...amazing! Thanks for sharing!

Now...that is a TRUE artist...to take the time to come & sing w/ the children:))) Tori is my favorite composer!!!...sooooo beautiful; both she & the children singing & you:)))) Thx so much for this!!! Mua;-)
She should record versions with the kids. They could release them on a benefit album / charity single type thing. These clips are really amazing.
God, she sounds fantastic. And your guitar is just fabulous. She should perform it this way all the time!
ha! i think our lady is taking a well-deserved rest and probably recording at ALL is the last thing on her mind! but don't think i don't appreciate the thought! :)
thanks!
I love how the kids keep looking to their teacher. What a wonderful educator!
That is just so awesome to watch. Tori is such a kind soul, seriously. Does she not have the most amazing aura?
I never get tired of this.

I am going 2 her concert! It will b so awesome to see her live!
right on!! I'd move across the world for her to teach my children.
Wow!! To co-teach with TORI!!! So cool!
Really! Especially while she was directing and performing in a sing-along with them!
Amazing!! Sort of like a Tori Amos version of Another Brick in the Wall. Very emotional, moving, and lovely performance by the way.
I would die in peace if I could have the oportunity to sing with her. She is so amazing!
Tori would make a great music teacher,IMHO.
LOVELY, MADE MY DAY!
You are so lucky! Wow! I think I would have passed out if I met her. haha
Can you tell I'm a little obsessed?
GOOSEBUMPS EVERYWHERE!!! U got to see her moved to tears.... Play ur guitar to her beautiful voice...---w/ talent by the way.... Happy for u....
This is so wonderful for you! You're obviously really extatic. Right, and just so you know: "Smokey Joe" isn't just Pip; it's a duet with Pip and Santa.
i'm fairly confident they wouldn't have minded if she kept that finger in their faces all day....
Tori really is incredible and the kids and Mr. B are amazing. How do we nominate someone for teacher fo the year?
i was thinking that same thing...these kids need to be in the recording studio with her...something about a child choir can turn any song into something beautiful yet tragic at the same time. Would LOVE for you guys to do a Cat power cover..
lol!
Did you see that? he got to KISS HER CHEEK. Didn't even drop dead. Color me jelly green.
wow big iphones they are recording with!
Amazing such talented kids!
btw, can somebody tell me what chords he's using for Father's Son?
Oh, God, I would die xDD.
Why is she so amazing?
it was in rare form! SOOO PERFECT! Where will U blog your story?
I am buying her album today.
thi si just wonderful!! thakns for sharing!@

Lord, what must it be like to accompany Tori Amos? I'm dizzy thinking about it.
❤
these kids are sooo lucky.
✨Smooth operators! She agreed to sing with you PS22
nice
Lucky you, and lucky kids...:)
ME TOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Greg i never noticed this till my girlfriend told me. Tori had gum in her mouth while she sang that song. after she is done singing she starts chewing on it again.
The boy with the flip phone!
yeah, i should have put her in detention.....
they are so lucky .:
Wow. I just don't know if these children can grasp what Tori is about just yet.
I was too touched; I had had to turn of the computer speakers and turn on my keyboard to play the piano component.
I'M GOING TO FAINT!!!!
I wan to be one of those kids!!
OK... I found it! Nevermond...
hahaha
Every bad thought I ever had about Tori Amos just got washed away. (And I had very few bad thoughts about her, just saying.)
David Enna What ? She's known as one of the most polite, giving artists in the past two decades !
David Enna shes truly a magical person. very sincere and kind
I´M JEALOUS TOO!
I am so jealous.
i totes think that song is about george bush...the bushs'...in my opinion.
Laird is looking rough.
this is fake
