i played a bunch of the music on the show. the composer came out here to seattle to record it and i played dobro, mandolin, banjo, and most of the acoustic guitar. i mostly enjoyed the show, not caring too much about historical accuracy, since i think the show was more about the emotional journey that people placed in a situation like this would undergo. i do wish they would have given us more of the brooks with their rags to "riches" story but i guess the viewers dig the petty conflict among the others more.
