Merry Christmas Mr. Lawrence

This is my first post on my first blog. So far, it's been really easy to set up. Amazingly easy.

Here's my first featured piece of music, it's a song off the movie Merry Christmas, Mr Lawrence, a film set in WWII. I've never watched it, but i heard the song a long time ago and thanks to the wonders of technology i chanced upon it on Youtube.

Here's the video of RS playing the song on piano live:



Never fails to put me in a simple, calm, evocative mood.
