Tomorrow night, I'm joined by actor and musician Hugh Laurie. Before finding fame and garnering several Emmy nods and two Golden Globe wins for his role in TV's House, he was a member of Cambridge University's Footlights Revue and a familiar face -- as a comedian -- on British TV. He is also a talented musician who recently released his sophomore CD, Didn't It Rain, a collection of jazz and blues standards.

In the following clip, Laurie explains why he considers music to be the highest of all art forms.
