      Didn't miss it. I don't like most of his other covers of New Orleans Blues. This song showed his immense talent at the piano, ability to sing and nothing distracting his performance. I have seen other videos where i thought it from a "Bit of Fry and Laurie" versus a serious piece of music of which i consider St James Infirmary to be . That is what i want to see/hear more of.

    So cold, so sweet, so sweet, so fair
    Let her go, let her go, God bless her
    Wherever she may be
    She can search this whole wide world over
    She won't ever find another man like me
    When I die, bury me in straight laced shoes,
    A box backed suit and a Stetson hat
    Put a 20 dollar gold piece on my watch chain;
    So the boys'll know I died standin' pat

I'm a 50 yr old English woman but I too have always loved the blues! My friends have gotten used to my "odd" tastes in music over the years! Haha. Am going to check out the full versions of Hugh's songs on UA-cam I think. If you like this, check out Louis Armstrong's version. It's amazing. 😊

  • @wandabailey372
    @wandabailey372 9 років тому

    I have been blessed to witness live this song performed live by Blues Legends. I feel the Jazz has been brought forward by Mr. Laurie. Blues and Jazz are different creatures; mostly because of instrumentation and application. They both are wonderful musical ways of telling a story. Louis Armstrong is credited as first recording this song and I think he would be very proud that not only is the song appreciated and remembered, but in the way the story is being told via instrument. Mr. Laurie has a voice and skill that can blend both blues and Jazz. So sad that "kids" these days look up to synthesized and vocoded music rather than the real stuff. Real talent is not in the mixing board. Mixing engineers "tweak" real talent. Don't beat up on me studio engineers!! I am on your side... less to "tweak" when real talent present. Real musicians are being thrown to the sidelines these days for synthesized simulations. I hope the current trend in music ends soon. Otherwise some very beautiful musical instrument's sounds will be lost.
