Music for the soul

I only managed to catch the last 20mins of it on ITV4 but all that I saw made me smile, Hugh Laurie is an inspiring actor that I've watched for years. I received the album as a birthday present a couple of years ago, seeing the story behind it brings it closer to my heart. You can't help swaying & closing your eyes along side the music you hear in this, it's a breath of fresh air.

I've known he's a wonderful pianist for a while, also that he has a beautiful voice. I appreciate listening to his versions of songs even more now, this program shows you some history about the music stemming from Orleans & you won't be able to stop smiling at some things. his name in the title was what attracted me to watch it & I'm incredibly glad I have, I'll be trying to watch the full thing in future, It's not enough to just catch the end, I want the full story :)
