    Uncover some the stories of the Ohio & Erie Canal with
    Cleveland Metroparks Historical Interpreter Foster Brown.



    Foster Brown has recently released a CD and DVD, �Unlocked
    through Songs and Images: Navigating CanalWay Forgotten History,� a
    compilation of 14 songs that encapsulate the spirit of the Ohio
    & Erie Canal.



    Learn the stories Brown collected by visiting town historians
    and libraries for inspiration, and researching records and
    photographs. The CD and DVD features stories from Akron, Barberton,
    Canal Fulton, Cleveland, Independence, Massillon, Peninsula, Zoar
    and many more.



    With the CD (�Unlocked through Songs�) and separate DVD
    (�Unlocked through Images�), Brown's music seeks to educate while
    emulating the past of the people of these towns. His songs do not
    just tell stories; they are the stories.



    In addition to �Unlocked through Songs and Images: 
    Navigating Canalway's Forgotten History,� Brown has produced
    several other CDs through Cleveland Metroparks, including �Songs of
    the �Emerald Necklace'� and �Ohio & Erie Canal: Inspired Songs
    that Tell the Story.�



    Foster's recordings are available at Cleveland Metroparks
    EarthWords Nature Shops in CanalWay Center, North Chagrin Nature
    Center, Rocky River Nature Center, and online at
    http://store.clevelandmetroparks.com/index.html.



    Get immersed in Ohio history with Foster Brown at the �Unlocked
    through Songs and Images: Navigating Canalway's Forgotten History�
    program in Cleveland Metroparks - part of your life,
    naturally!
