I don’t really like “Laurie”, either.. It’s apparently a fairly famous jazz tune, but it sounds kinda blah to me — and this is a watered-down version, so probably makes it more blah. It’s the first thing my teacher asked me to play out of this new book I got, though. At least I’m playing jazz, I guess. ;)

As for “Laurie”, I just don’t ilke it as much, it seems to just drawl on and on. Plus there’s an unending resonance in the background that comes out like an echo.

But “Ivan’s Song”, man, that’s where it’s at. Less creepy and annoying. ;P
