\"Northern<\/a>One of my favorite TV shows of all time is Northern Exposure<\/em>.\u00a0 Mary started watching it from the beginning. I got hooked somewhere around the 2nd or 3rd episode. It is hard to explain why I like it so much. I’m sure part of it was because of my time in the wooded mountains of Vermont. The town I lived in was not unlike Cicely, Alaska in size and population.<\/p>\n

When I saw the soundtrack, I jumped immediately. Not only did the television show have great stories and settings, the music was cool too. This album is a good sampling. It has a mix of classic songs as well as specific soundtrack scored pieces by David Schwartz including that iconic theme song. I still long for more episodes when I hear it. It is sad that the show came to and end like that.<\/p>\n

The Northern Exposure Soundtrack is also a good jumping off point for a bunch of good artists like Etta James, Nat King Cole and Booker T & The MG’s.\u00a0 I can trace my purchase of a Procol Harum <\/em>directly to an episode of Northern Exposure.<\/p>\n

My favorite character in the series was the DJ Chris In The Morning. I liked his approach to music and his philosophical approach as well. Thoughts and ideas and art were real, tangible, touchable things to Chris.<\/p>\n
