It's a story told by a C&O boatman in the canal's waning days. I co-wrote it with my mom (Phyllis), and she plays the violin and sings harmony on the recording. We debuted it at the end of my talk at the C&O Canal Association's Annual Heritage event in Cumberland on October 21. We hope you enjoy it - please share with other fans of the C&O!
