Aside from being an absolutely incredible documentary, I was struck by the background sounds that were featured as the still photos and paintings were displayed. Being too caught up in the story of the actual war itself, I didn't want to be distracted by trying to identify some of the less-obvious birdsong, of which there were many. Since much of the featured historical material was from the MD-VA-PA region, does anyone know about the selection of nature sounds that Burns used for the documentary -- that is, had there been some discussion about it before? It was a stroke of genius, I thought, because it gave the photos a deep sense of "being there." - shireen -- Shireen Gonzaga Baltimore whimbrel@comcast.net ======================================================================= To leave the MDOsprey list, send e-mail to listserv@home.ease.lsoft.com with the following message in line 1: signoff mdosprey ======================================================================= =========================================================================
