As part of the southern family living abroad I thoroughly enjoyed this course. Thanks Bill, for sharing your experience and knowledge with us. I look forward to watching your documentaries on Folkstream!

A great way to begin to understand some of the fabric, or quilt, that puts all things together in the American South, with one of the researchers that knows the most on the field: Dr. William Ferris.

This were some amazing and enjoyable weeks to learn so ,much about stories and music of the South. Thank you very much and in particular for the fotos and the audio and video recordings.

This class utilizes the oral history of the South in a way where you not only understand the context of the course but can also feel the people of the South in a deeply meaningful way.

Bill Ferris is a wealth of knowledge and experience - I only regret missing out on the classroom dynamic of a Ferris-led discussion of Southern arts, particularly the Blues.

One of the greatest courses I ever followed!

Interesting, documentary, not even one minute boring, very well organized and easy to follow.

Music is part of our history.

Its a very interesting presentation about the history of the American South and you learn a lot of new things especially if it isn"t in your culture knowledge.

Amazing course! Conversational, relaxed lectures that are well-informed, paired with excellent archival footage--mostly generated by the presenting professor.

Very interesting and informative course, I have a better understanding of southern culture, the stories, music and art I often heard my grandmother speak of.

I could tell that the professor was passionate about the subject and enjoys teaching it. His passion made everything more interesting and easier to learn.

Started this course, but had to stop initially because I started a PhD. But I couldn't stop thinking about it so resumed the other day. Loved it.

This has been an interesting and informative course. It would be nice if Prof Ferris could produce an intermediate course on the same topic.

An excellent course. Truly informative and engaging. I recommend this course to those interested in the Blues, its history and birthplace.

This is a course given by a person who really loves and feels passion for the subject... and this is doubtlessly reflected on the course

Wonderful course for the slated length-- wish it was more in depth and longer!

Professor is unspeakably amazing and knowledgeable!

very helpful an introduction! Making me really wanna know more about the South. Love the Story-telling oral tradition of South!

Amazing course enjoyed every minute and would like to thank

Professor Ferris for sharing his knowledge in such a joyful way.

It was truly very informative and interesting more so since I've always been a fan of the blues. Highly recommended. :)))

The lectures were so interesting and the interviews were amazing! The music added so much to the course! Highly recommend!

I really enjoyed this course. The lecturer has a style that keeps you interested. The content was very interesting.

I loved this course. I learned about many interesting aspects in the southern lands of the united states.

Loved it although i wish i could have taken the quizzes as an auditor just to check what i had learned.

I am so glad that I was able to participate in this class. It was so very enjoyable and informative.

A beautiful portrayal and study of the American south, I really enjoyed this course. Thank you

Fascinating introduction and lots of pointers to follow through if you want to explore more
