“Marc Audet’s Forgotten Memories of the Ottawa Valley is a unique and emotional trip though time. What a treasure! The research, dedication, and honest love of the history, land and people of this area is apparent in Marc’s tellings. He transcribes history into what could be only called an original musical journey. He introduces you to names long forgotten and unknown, brings you to places once occupied and brought back to life, all with ease and knowledge that only a true historian could attain. I highly recommend this one-of-a-kind folk tale show - history buff or not!” - Bonnechere Union Public Library
