Hugh Laurie"House" music

Post by DGPros »

Many of you may know the name Hugh Laurie associated with the TV show "House", but did you know he was also a musician? One of my favorites is "The Weed Smokers Dream" but that might change as I listen to more. Here is his channel. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCsy5uj ... 5IyRPNL5MA and here is the song(he doesn't sing on this particular track) https://youtu.be/6OnVyVynhQA
In short, is not liberty the freedom of every person to make full use of his faculties, so long as he does not harm other persons while doing so?
Frederic Bastiat

His performances on "Jeeves and Wooster" were charming- like ineptly singing "Puttn' on the Ritz" without following the syncopation, and completely loosing his way. [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LObPaCloY8E[/youtube]

Hugh Laurie sings the 1920 hit "Oh By Jingo". My favorite version is on Columbia by Frank Crumit.
Watch "Oh, By Jingo by Hugh Laurie" on YouTube

I also recall his rendition of "Nagasaki":
