Tonight’s mystery artist wrote a song inspired by a Salvation Army Children’s Home.  Think you know what it might be or who wrote it??

The inspired writer was in Spain doing a part in a movie when he says he was reminded of the Children’s Home near his childhood home in Liverpool England.  The girls orphanage was called Strawberry Field and when John Lennon was young he would play in the garden there.  The song was released as a Double A side single with Penny Lane back in 1967. Wikipedia even has pictures of the facility in England.

Here they are with tonight's featured song.

I also found this interesting look into John Lennon's and Strawberry Field history.
