I must say I was thinking of that too.
Tragically I recorded most if not all of the episodes on videotape and never got round to watching them! I might dig them out or buy the DVDs if the tapes have disintegrated into dust. I wonder if my sanity will remain intact if I watch them all at once?

I also like the theme to Ken Burns's The Civil War. It was coincidentally written about a place near where I was born.

YouTube - Abraham Lincoln - A Tribute (Ashokan Farewell)
