The PS22 Chorus of 2006 does an incredible version of "Strawberry Fields" which we used for our original musical, "Sandy Ground -- Flowers of the Sand." The play was about the original settlers of Staten Island's Sandy Ground, which was the first successful African-American community in America. They made their living oystering and growing strawberries. We dedicate this song to Lois A.H. Mosley, a descendent of the Sandy Ground community, who unfortunately passed away this past year. She was an incredible woman, whose numerous accomplishments include a wonderful family, and a book she authored titled "Sandy Ground Memories".
The song was written by the Beatles, originally for the Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Heart's Club Band in 1967, and instead first appeared as an alternate A-side on the flipside of the "Penny Lane" single. Although the song only reached #8 on the Billboard Charts, it is in my opinion better than most of their #1 singles! Right now the chorus of 2009 is hard at work on it's cover of "Across the Universe", another brilliant Beatles song. Something to look forward to indeed.
So thank you again to Lois A.H. Mosley for being part of PS22 Chorus history and, more significantly, being an important part of American history. Though you are missed, your light continues to shine through all who were blessed to know you.
