I'm not a piano player, but I would Gymnopedie #1 as one of the easiest classical pieces to learn.

Colbert is awesome. He provides intelligent concise opinion and facts on political issues with a mix of comedy.

At the risk of posting a spoiler here, I had to look up the name of the song that Jon first mentioned, "Gymnopedie No. 1" by Satie. As soon as it started playing, I recognized it immediately.
Very relaxing.
Well done, Jon!
And, as always, thanks for posting these clips!

The bass clef consists of mostly repeating chords until near the end of the piece. While #1 is the most famous Satie piece, I think that I'm a bit fonder of Gymnopedie #3.

Colbert is a tonic to this age.
