From the White Cliffs of Dover, to the craggy limits of Land's End: from the Alabaster Coast of Normandy, to the Emerald Coast of Brittany, "The English Channel" is a journey along the facing shores of France and England. Sometimes friendly, often confrontational, the historical relationship between these two great cultures has always been intriguing. The English Channel, or LaManche as it is known in France, can be a barrier, or it can be a link. Join Monty and Marsha as they take you on a unique voyage of discovery along the North Coast of France, the South Coast of England and some islands in between. Some stops include Sussex, Kent, Upper Normandy's Alabaster Coast, the Isle of Wight, the Normandy World War II Beaches, Guernsey and Sark Islands, and our trip ends at Brittany's coastal grandeur.

About Monty & Marsha Brown - Monty graduated from the University of British Columbia, Vancouver, and immediately took up an acting career in London. While in London during the 1960s and early 70s he worked as a production assistant in the drama series department at BBC-TV. He began a career as a singer-songwriter in New York, and in 1980 Monty met and teamed up with Marsha in Louisiana.

Marsha plays bass and sings harmonies, while Monty plays guitar and harmonica. Two of the songs they have written and recorded were used in the popular movie, "Steel Magnolias". They have a current CD called "Dancing Cajun" which was released on the Swallow Label in Louisiana and has received air-play on South Louisiana radio stations.

A program for Parents & their children Under 3

This program is a quickly paced mixture of songs, stories, fingerplays, poems and puppets. Repetition is important at this age and the program will reflect that developmental need. This is a "drop-in" program.
