La Musica... secondo Gregory House

Ringraziando Sergio per l'ospitalità, mi sembra opportuno iniziare a postare con un argomento "assonante" tanto con la nostra passione che con il titolo stesso di questo blog: la musica.

Per cui a tutti gli amici amanti della musica e non necessariamente ipocondriaci... propongo una "curiosità", ovvero una bella compilation di titoli da far invidia a nick the nightfly che fanno da "sottofondo" o meglio da "sfondo" alle tribolate vicissitudini televisive del geniale e misantropo Dr. Gregoy House.

Hugh Laurie, che lo interpreta con magistrale cinismo, oltre che attore e scrittore è anche musicista (in varie puntate lo si vede e sente suonare...) e non si può escludere una "trasfusione" del suo gusto musicale nelle colonne sonore...
