Random music in random places

I just got around to watching last Friday night's episode of "The Jay Leno Show". Hugh Laurie was the guest. First of all, no matter how many times I hear him speak, I can never get over hearing him with his British accent, I always forget he has one!

Jay makes his guests "earn their plug". Sometimes this is a trivia quiz, but this episode had Hugh singing a song while playing piano (with the backup of the Primetime Band). In the first few notes on the piano, I was psyched to know that he was going to be singing "Saint James Infirmary"! WOOHOO! I know it is a very depressing song, but the melody is so beautifully haunting, I can't help but love it. He had the band's trombone player up there with him.

The volume is a little low, so you might need to turn it up.
