TOP REVIEWS FROM THE AMERICAN SOUTH: ITS STORIES, MUSIC, AND ART
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.
Amazing course! Conversational, relaxed lectures that are well-informed, paired with excellent archival footage--mostly generated by the presenting professor.
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.
Amazing course enjoyed every minute and would like to thank
Professor Ferris for sharing his knowledge in such a joyful way.
