crosscurrents

C'est l'aviron qui nous mène, qui nous mène! Learn to feel the rhythm of French and Gaelic work songs in your arms and back, changing tempo from whitewater to flatwater and choosing meter for a paddle vs. an oar. For sites with boating programs, we can take these French and Scots songs out on the water in the working boats where they belong, to feel how a good gouvernail or chanteyman kept the boat trim and on course with a song. Organize a canoe parade for your river festival, or prepare a singing brigade with a voyageur's salute to stage your arrival ceremony with panache!
