00:23In honor of His Majesty's birthday on December 5, Nation Group presents H.M. Blues, a royal jazz concert, a grand celebration of King Rama IX's extraordinary music legacy.
00:36Ever since I was young, I've been listening to his music, and many of his pieces just touch my heart.
00:45His music just lingers in your brain, in your heart, in your soul.
00:52And not just the music, but the lyrics of it. It just goes together so well.
01:00So his legacy stays in my heart, and I think stays in many people's hearts.
01:08Well, I've lived here since 1988, so I've been here quite a long time.
01:12And of course, I've heard songs composed by His Royal Highness, so I know some of the songs.
01:19I don't know the names, but I'm definitely listening to the songs, and I'm sure I'm recognizing a few of them.
01:25Is there any song that is your favorite?
01:28I don't remember much, but I think it's got to be Blue Day.
01:33Atit Apsaeng.
01:34Yeah, yeah, yeah. Atit Apsaeng.
01:37Because personally, it reminds me of someone missing someone he loved so much. It's kind of romantic.
