QUOTES and OTHER P-RRR
Rockin Ron was an amazing performer. This summer we hired Rockin Ron as field trips were just not possible due to COVID and we were looking for a fun way to break up our summer camp day. When Rockin Ron showed up the whole camp was having fun and had smiles on their faces. I have worked within Boys & Girls Club organizations for over 20 years and have never seen an entertainer keep the interest of all of our members the way Ron did. Even the hard to please middle schoolers couldn’t help but to join in on the fun. Rockin Ron is always welcome at our Clubhouse!
With your clever lyrics and endless enthusiasm, it’s no surprise how easily you win an audience. It was fun listening to you — and exhausting watching you in action!
We love, love, loved hosting you here at the Library Arts Center! What a great performance! What happy kids and families! Thank you for kicking off our series of free performances for kids with such style and positive energy! We hope to host you again sometime in the future.
Rockin’ Ron the Friendly Pirate has been coming to my third grade classroom for three months now. He kicked off his stint working with us providing his amazing CD in preparation. I love that he knows what is age-appropriate fun, whether it is Kindergarten or third grade. My students love his songs, stories and immense knowledge of pirate culture. He has turned some of my self-proclaimed “non-readers” into avid pirate experts. His songs can often be heard throughout my classroom and I’m always hearing ‘When’s the Friendly Pirate coming again?!’ I highly recommend not only his music, but his wealth of knowledge and experience into any setting
If you thought that Rockin Ron, the Friendly Pirate is just for kids, you thought wrong! Last night I watched him entertain a group of senior citizens and they had a blast. He had them singing and laughing and even engaged in physical activity. Great job, Ron!
Rockin’ Ron the Friendly Pirate put a smile on everyone’s face and raised the roof with his exuberance and energy! We loved having him at our store [for Talk Like a Pirate Day]!
The way you engaged the kids of all ages in the singing of your very contagious pirate melodies is the talk of the town. The Buccaneer Bounce was so much fun! You exceeded our expectations in every way.
