On behalf of the Ferriday Junior High School administration, staff, and students, I want to thank you for a great performance on December 13.  It was a different kind of music for our students and it only enhanced their cultural being.  They are still talking about what great skills you have in playing the guitar and the fact that "Grandma being run over by a reindeer" was so funny to them.  The English teachers are making plans to get your books as we speak.

Again, thank you for taking the time to invest in the future of our children.
—Dorothy Marsalis, Curriculum Coordinator, Ferriday, LA

“Rickey Pittman is an informative, entertaining, delight for young, old, and  everyone in-between! His blend of Civil War era stories, music, poems and books will keep audiences’ toes tapping while at the same time shedding new light on seldom-heard facts and trivia surrounding the war between the states. Pittman’s knowledgeable Southern perspective and talent are sure crowd  pleasers!”
—Pamela Tackett, Delta Kappa Gamma, and Gifted Instructor, Union Parish ISD, Louisiana.

“It was that special program librarians want their students to experience!”
—Beverly Harriage, Librarian, Honey Grove ISD, Texas.

“Thank you again for your contribution to our kids, our world.”
—Darlene Welch Brown, Monroe City Schools.

“What a great story with depth and historical details. What a way to inculcate a bit of history into the lives of this pop generation of kids!”
—Judy Bennet, Freshman English Director, University of Louisiana at Monroe.

  “Mr. Pittman’s enthusiasm for his subject was contagious! The students at both the middle school and the high school levels found his presentation entertaining and informational. I have had students from both age groups ask when he will be back again.”
—Michele Aucoin, Gifted English Instructor, Assumption Parish ISD.
