"As a psychologist who works with children it is really nice to see kids listening and interacting with something so positive." -Beth Palmer "David Chicken’s performance was a true joy for my students and me! The original music is wonderful and creative. The performance was active and exciting. And David’s energy is exuberant and catching – even the adults were doing the “Funky Fish”. Our students keep asking when David will be back. Luckily we have the DVD to keep the students happy until then. Thanks David!" -Holly Gordon "Wow! Our community is still clucking over David & Mama Chicken and of course, Super Chachie! As a fundraising director for a nonprofit agency, finding unique, family friendly and revenue-generating events is a challenge. All I can say, "David Chicken fits the bill!" The performance was very interactive, professional, and most importantly very inclusive for children with disabilities. Can't wait until next time ..." -Missy Fleming "David has entertained us 2 years in a row at our Spring Open House at Highland Park Methodist. He is a HUGE hit with children as well as adults -- funny, enthusiastic, INCREDIBLE at his profession of singing and dancing! Everyone raves over him and can't wait until the next concert!" -Michaela Green
"David, we were there to see you, and you were absolutely wonderful! I am telling everyone! You not only entertained the kids, but also the parents! That evening we were singing your songs all the time, could not get them out of our heads. You managed to make all the children there a 'star'. The posters and tees w/ your autograph were special, but it's the DVD my 3 grandchildren are watching 24/7. Your Mom and your dog are special, too. My grandson is sorta shy at first, and when you put him on stage to play the guitar, he was shy, but then he 'let loose'. That also prepared him for this last weekend when he had a "Chuck E. Cheese" 4th birthday party, and he was not afraid to be next to CEC, as he has been in the past. Good luck, and hug your Mom and puppy!" Connie Purdom,
"Thanks for the extraordinary entertainment and making our Family Days at The Science Place a HUGE success. Our members all agree that your performances are simply delightful; kids and parents alike love the show! We look forward to having you back again very soon." -Melissa Mihelich
"David, I just wanted to thank you for doing such a great job. You did an awesome job. The kids had had a hard week with the TAKS test and they had a great time unwinding. Good Luck and we hope to have you back next year. Thanks again." -Laura LeCrone,
"David's performance at our Night of Holiday Magic had kids and adults enthralled and totally entertained. He is truly talented and the show is fantastic. I will look for any excuse to book him again!" -Stacy D. Smith
"What a great day! Our Auction Kickoff Children's Festival was a huge hit thanks to you! Our turnout was almost double that of last year, and the children (and parents) loved the show. The St. Alquin community is a huge fan!" Sincerely,
"David, I wanted to say thank you for your excellent program today at Cochran Elementary. I teach special education students and they are often left out or overlooked in schoolwide programs. However, you made sure they were included in the same way as the other students. My entire class got to be on the stage at some point during your show. Three of my students do not speak but they wanted to sing a song on stage. You improvised 'Twinkle Twinkle' with them and the entire audience helped them sing. This kind of interaction does so much for my kids self esteem but also teaches other students (and teachers) that these kids are people too and want to have fun and participate as much as anyone. Thank you for coming and being so wonderful with all the students. Everyone loved your show and can't stop talking about 'that chicken man.' You were great! I wish you success in all that you do... and again, Thank You!!" Sincerely,
"Recently, you brought your David Chicken Live Show to Weber State University and it was a huge success. Children of all ages fell in love with your songs and dances. Although it has been six weeks since your show there are many children and parents that comment on how much fun they had. As the Student Activities Family Programs committee, we wanted to bring a high quality family program that would include the whole family and your show was perfect. Your ability to make each individual in the audience want to be part of the show is an obvious sign that you care deeply for what you are doing. Your show is one we would love to bring back again and again. We wish you great success and we will be looking for your TV show in the not so distant future." Sincerely, Marie Hunt
"David - Thank You and Mama Chicken SO VERY MUCH for the joy you brought to our kids. It just makes me glad that they are not shy in front of crowds and afraid to speak in front of people. I think of what I am like even today when I give a presentation in a meeting; I am a puddle of sweat for days before and after. To see them just take to your show like nobody's business ... you always want your children to be better/smarter, more whatever than you are, and if they can learn those skills at this age there is no stopping them. You and Mama Chicken are a great and FUN part of that confidence building. Galloint and until next time!" -Mike Stepzinski, father of two "I just want to say Thank You So Much for the show you put on at the Lovers Lane Methodist Church in Dallas. My daughter, Ariel was the one dressed in the flower costume. She absolutely loved your show. I had to try real hard to hold my tears back to see how much these special needs children opened up and had a great time. She was much more excited at your show than she was seeing Dora The Explorer Live and she lives for Dora. I can't imagine the feeling you get when you make all of these children smile and forget the problems they have. The feeling I got just watching you make these children smile was very emotional for me." Again, I want to thank you
"My family and I first saw David Chicken a little over a year ago. We have a 5, 7 and 10 year old. Going to David's concerts have proven to be some of the best family fun time ever. The music is geared towards the 3rd grade and under crowd, but our 10 year old son proudly displays his David Chicken hat, and sings along with the music when we play it in the car. David is fresh, original and shows a genuine zeal and passion for entertaining children with a positive upbeat humor. David Chicken has succeeded where so many others have failed. David NEVER condecends or talks down to the kids. He entertains his audience with a positive fun show that respects their intellegence. Be warned though, when you take your kids to see David Chicken, be ready to get involved and dance along. His music is just too much fun to sit still with!" -Lori Buswold"Miss. Ladybug" "I have been a big fan of David Chicken even before my
daughter was born. His songs are catchy and smart
enough that adults will find themselves dancing and
singing right along with him! My daughter is 2 now and
she LOVES David's CDs and DVD. We have been to his
shows and she has gone up on the stage and danced. She
sings the songs in the car and dances to them at home.
She'll request her favorites all the time. -Diane Barriere, mother of one
David, Thank you,
"I just wanted to let you know that my nieces and nephews entertain themselves daily with your CD. I usually find myself singing it for the rest of the day after hearing it. It was no surprise that the children reacted so well when you performed at the Dallas Country Club. Your ability to relate to children on their own special level makes you a welcome addition to any young peoples event. We look forward to your next performance here at the club." -Patty Coughlin,
"Three Clucks for David Chicken! David Chicken recently did a benefit performance at our daughter's school. We had acts that night ranging from dancers to fire-eaters to magicians, and David Chicken blew them all away! He totally involves the kids in his act -- they love singing and dancing to his music. David's charm and enthusiasm is so infectious that he even brought the parents to their feet! David is a top-notch entertainer who is talented, personable, professional and completely endearing. I would highly recommend him as an entertainer for children of all ages."
"Just wanted to let you know how thrilled we are to know children from all over will be able to experience your fantastic, fun, unique and slightly outrageous brand of educational entertainment! You are destined to be in the"who's who" of the best childrens T.V. personalities with your ability to create songs that kids can't resist singing and dancing to, combined with the characters you've created, and your genuine love for what you do.Watching you with little ones is an experience unto itself as you effortlessly smile and laugh with them; it is obvious to all you are a born entertainer with an uncanny ability to reach children of all ages and abilities.May you continue to inspire the imaginations, promote healthy self-esteem, and encourage creativity and individualism among people everywhere, young and old alike." -Gina Premont, Down Syndrome Guild of Dallas
"David Chicken's performance added a whole new level of fun to the 2004 Dino Dash and Discovery Fest! He was the perfect addition to our family-geared party after the race, and everyone present clearly enjoyed the show. He is a gifted entertainer!" -Joanna Clarke,
"I don't know whether to thank you, or kill you ;-) I've watched "the chicken video" about 25 times now. My son LOVES it! I am now an expert at the Scakle dance and Jackson loves to sing the 'Chicken and Dumpling' song. His favorite part is when you 'squish them with your feet' and make that noise. He thinks it is soooooooooooooo funny."
"My children saw you at the Lake Highlands North Rec. Center for the Easter party that was there. My son, William, 'won' a CD of yours (I think for making the best monkey noise). Anyway, it is now his favorite CD and he listens to it every night. Last night, before going to bed he 'performed' a song for us. It was just about the cutest thing you've ever seen. Anyway, my daughters birthday is coming up (she'll be 4) and I was wondering if you do birthday party's, how much and if you were available April 20? Anyway, let me know." Thank you,
"Just wanted to let you know how much my three year old grandson loves your new CD, Scakle Time. In fact, his Great Grandmother said if she has to make chicken and dumplings one more time because of his fondness for that song, she's going to insist that you provide food with the CD! Thanks for this great entertainment for kids! Hope more is soon to come." -Teddie Garrigan
"I just wanted to let you know how much my son enjoys your CD. Whenever we get in the car, he always asks for "his music", which means your CD, and he sings along to Bubble Gum, Chicken & Dumplings, and Sheep Cow Horse. Given the choice between your CD and Elmopalooza, he will choose your CD every time (and he is a big fan of Elmo). It means a lot to me to see him enjoying something so much and Im very glad that we came across your music. Also, since his mother and I have to listen to the CD so often, it is very refreshing to hear such catchy tunes that don't drive us nuts. Most childrens music becomes painful to listen to after the first couple of times played, but your CD has stayed fresh and we all enjoy singing about Chicken & Dumplings and trying to figure out how to make the Sheep Cow Horse noise. Keep up the good work and we look forward to your next CD." Thank you,
"My boys love your CD, and I have been Scakling quite often. I even made my legs sore. They are listening to the CD as I type; my son Lucas is coloring the Super Chachie picture right now. He is so excited about everything. You are very talented. I hope this goes along way for youit takes a special individual to use their God given talent for other people and children, especially, as they are the future." -Kim Hampton
"My daughter Cardedria LOVES your CD. She played it all weekend and before I knew it she was singing each and every song. Pooh (Cardedria) is 11 years old now, and my other daughter Jasma is 13 years old. At first when Jasma heard the CD, she told Pooh that it was only "baby songs" and she didn't want to hear it. By Saturday I heard who I thought was Pooh singing and it was Jasma, Miss "I don't like the CD because its for babies" was singing the baby songs (GO FIGURE). I said Jas, why are you singing the "baby songs" and she said because it sounds good and I like the songs, MOM!!. So Saturday night we were in the kitchen cooking for dinner and me, Jas, and Pooh played your CD over and over and over and had lots of fun. So thanks again for showing Miss Jas that she is still a kid at heart." -Penny Johnson
