I saw the episode on Glacier.
Great footoage of some of our nearby inns lodges and chalets.
There is a some talk on my music groups re the soundtrack which must be
stunning with atrists like Jay Unger and Molly Mason, Peter Ostroushko etc.

Ken Burns commissions and uses his musicians well.
Some of his soundtracks have blown me away

Agreed. Probably the best of what he does. Ashoken Farewell, written
for his Civil War series, is, far and away, the most requested piece
at any gathering of fiddle players (don't know about violinists).

All in all, however, I find this National Park series to be a bit too
fawning and saccharine. Yes, it is lovely.........but, hey, enough.

cheers

oz, who has been to most of them, but finds The Blackfoot Reservation,
near Glacier, to be better than any.
