Malcolm, I am watching this video in a hospital dining hall while my wife is in surgery. This video is a great comfort to me in a difficult time. Thank you, brother

You are my man. You are my kind of man. I'm an alcoholic trying to get sober. But I simply love intoxication. I am a poet, a painter, a good one. But I've had to do it all alone. Until tech caught up to poetry. . . .

I just found your content about 20 minutes ago. One video and I am hooked. This is my second video that I am currently watching and this has already sealed the deal for me. Thank you for existing good sir!

Sharing this space with the other listeners and seeing all the supportive comments is certainly widening the care.

Malcolm, a friend started a piping KZfaq page and that has led to me being sucked down the algorithm wormhole. It has been a joy to find your channel. I was raised to appreciate the arts and it has been a great reminder to appreciate poetry and books.

Lovely strumming in the beginning and another intoxicating episode! We so enjoy your chats

Thank you for the reading and for the brief glimpse of guitar playing.

Always such a treat to see new upload

Congrats on 100K subscribers, you deserve them and more. Today I’m eagerly awaiting the delivery of my third pipe, a Savinelli Churchwarden, I’m 61 and started my pipe adventure six months ago. I have such wonderful memories of my grandfather smoking pipe, my mother still has his pipes and she’s giving them to me. I’ll treasure them.

I would love to sit and chat with you sir. A pipe, pint, and poem. I love your content. It brings me joy in a world that is forgetting rhe simple pleasures. God bless you and please keep making content and writing.

Congrats on 100k! It’s a joy to hear you talk!

I LIVE for these videos.

I think Aquinas is right that the Trinity can only be arrived at by Divine Revelation rather than through natural reason, but once you take it as a starting point the whole world makes a lot more sense. There is little so fundamental and so sublime and so wonderful as the Trinity of Persons, which we mirror in our own lives. Thank you for the poetry!

Another GEM. Congratulations and happy 100K Subscribers Mr. Guite.🎉🍻

"For me? Just my friends." What a fantastic line. Have fun at the improvisation talk, that sounds fascinating! As a musician myself, I'd love to go to that. I'd love to hear some more poetry on the art of music if you know of any

Just returned from a week in London. I met a couple of YTPC presenters at JJ Fox. One of them @G Spitaletti a UK pipe maker posted a vid of it. Great visit! If he walks with me then he is everywhere I go. I felt him on my journey through London’s history. Fellowship feeds the body and mind. Long live the brotherhood of briar

Thank you for the video, Malcolm. I hope you are keeping well.

Many thanks for the aural treat. May your Shireweed never bite and your beer mug always overflow!

Malcolm, why are you not on TV in your own late night show?...I think you'd be marvellous.

Congratulations on getting 100K subscribers! I am glad to be one of them.

Wonderful as always. Thanks you . God bless.

Just when I thought Malcom couldn’t get any cooler he starts a video playing a little blues and smoking a pipe.

Thank you Malcolm. Your videos soothe me.

Never go away boyo.

Enjoy the retreat. Reading Sam Wells "Humbler Faith, Bigger God" changed my world. He's an amazing Orator. I hope to visit St Martin's one day.

Glad to see that lovely Loar guitar again! Reminds me of my dad’s old Gibson ES-175, just without the cutaway. Beautiful instrument and nice pipe, too! Blessings

You remind me of my dad in a lot of ways. He loved Tolkien, guitar playing, and sailing. He wasn't much into pipes or pipe smoking, but 3 out of 4 isn't bad.

"Come in." Yes I will don't stop

Malcolm congratulations on 100 subscribers you've brought us all so much joy from Beowulf to Tolkien and on, continued success and God bless!

New subscriber here! Glad I found your videos. I love poetry and how you talk about it

Oh keep up the guitar routine and you will be in fine fettle in no time! Bravo. I think serendipity, play, and Jung's idea of synchronicity all swirl together when we improvise.

I so love and appreciate your videos!! Thank you Malcolm, I hope that you and yours are doing well. Prayers for your family 🙏

Thanks for sharing Reverend

God bless you.

Awesome!

Life is improv. Depending on your angle, learning how to trust Mother Nature, god, or the universe is key to finding happiness and fulfillment. I don't plan for anything and just let things happen. They are going to happen the way they were meant to no matter what I wish or plan for. when you don't plan you won't have expectations. you can only be disappointed when you have expectations that are not met. BTW, I have been using peterson's for years. they are the only ones I feel like I am using the proper tool for the job. like a guitar, they become a part of you over time.

Lovely video, thank you x

Congrats on the big 100! I love your channel so much! Been totally swallowed up by your content since I found it a couple of days ago. Please never stop sharing these kind of videos; you're doing a great service in providing content on KZfaq that is actually worthwhile! Thank you, thank you, thank you!! ❤

100k!!!🎉 Well deserved!!!

Thank you for these readings...I believe staying open may be one the tasks of our times. Malign forces seek to close us off from ourselves and each other. Perhaps that is why tyrants and demagogues so often attack the arts. I have been dipping into Tolkien lately and this does seem to be a theme...good things happen when characters and places open their doors especially to outsiders. While Sauron nearly wins by forcing peoples to isolate, cities to close their gates etc...

Malcolm Thank you so much for being a respite in the storm of life.

It is a famous Church to me as a classical music lover, one of the best acoustics anywhere!

Thank you, yes, you did indeed feed my soul 💚

Brilliant. Cheers. Safe travels.

Satchmo's trumpet is ransacking the Melody's secret 🎶 beautiful verse! Thanks, Malcolm!

Never heard of Michael Oshiel.Wonderful!

What a lovely sound to welcome us! Don't stop, we're enjoying it... 💞 💙 Thanks for sharing the poems, and best wishes for the event, which no doubt goes better for a little thought and preparedness. By the way, we haven't forgot the wonderful poetry you rediscovered recently from 40 years ago. 🙂 Warm regards to you both.

And congratulations on reaching the 100k subscribers x

Good Evening 😊 Awesome Played 🎸🎸 Congrats on Your Sub Count 🎉👏🏼 Thanks For The Read 📖 Have a lovely Day 🙏🏽 Greetings From South Africa 🇿🇦

Without improvisation, there would be no progress. None of the greatest music. There would be no leaders. There would be no politicians (well, maybe a silver lining here). There would be no Generals. No live Q&A. We would be Modrons or citizens of Camazotz. The greatest improvisation is born of necessity - a broken guitar string, an unanticipated question before a large audience, a flooded river. Improvisation happens in the present tense, but when successful it expands our future. Thank you Father Guite as always for leading me to think and broadening my horizons.

god bless you sir

Happy Friday from Edmonton, Alberta Malcolm 🍻

Added me to your subscriber list. You just appeared on my feed and this is great content. Thanks.

I dont know how I stumbled across these videos as a northern twenty something year old but I do find them comforting

Loving this channel 👍all the way 📖

I'm not really the religious type but that poem about God calling humanity from the darkness was quite strong.

If I could be like this man on 48 years I'd be happy. God Bless you and keep you safe.

How many talents can one man have??? Never too many! Beautiful guitar and pipe!

New subscribers here too, I have just got into poetry and I'm in my early sixties. I am totally unskilled in the art but write as led by the Spirit of God. From a background of being a failure educationally never attaining any English O levels because of being dyslexic and more creative than academic, but God has the last laugh

I improvised this poem in a few minutes earlier today as I sat with my wife and infant daughter before I went to work. I looked at my daughter and couldn’t help thinking about how bittersweet it will be later in down the road when she marries and leaves. The Maple Tree Of all possessions obtained in my twenties, my little tree sapling sat closest to my heart It came to me one dawn, barely twenty inches long; after feeble beginnings, it began to grow strong Many years I spent in careful nurturing, some shade, plentiful water and hours of bright sun In winter came the frost, and I covered the tree to protect it Months were spent in deep anxiety, but the fight with winter was finally won The maple reached for the sky as two decades had gone by And my tree began to no longer need me It warmed itself when cold, its leaves flashed red and bold I stood back and watched it continue to grow sweetly Then a man came along, much younger than myself, and begged if he could buy the land; My maple sat within its boundary, and though I wish forever at my home she’d stand, I could not rightly refuse him her hand And so my maple moved on, in the care of another, and was always loved well by the man; My only request was that as often as she can, to come home and see me and her mother

Thanks!

😎💪🙏

I wanted to be an artist when I was 16. Rent wouldn’t allow it of course

Beard looks very shapely today

For us who aspire to be poets, what would you say are some practical resources to study? The best way to learn to write is to read, and I’m sure poetry is much the same. The words flow easily, but the form is hard to master!

Learn to cop knock LOL Great video

Anyone know how to spell the name of the poet he read from who wrote "March on"

Really wish I'd have found your channel during lock down. You are exactly what KZfaq almost was, and should be. Have you done a purely pipe video? I ask because im interested in tryng a pipe but I suspect like lots of your viewers the only thing I know is the scent of pipe smoke is divine, please sit down (with an appropriate ale) and make an idiots guide (or series 👀)

2:10 maybe infamous

consider myself a very metaphor-based pagan but malcolm is who i want to be when I'm older

Cameraman needs to pan back a bit.

I'm nearly 70 Malcolm and take great pride in telling people that my bedroom/study is based on yours. The confused expression on their faces is something to behold? Don't change my friend, just remain in that chair surrounded by shelves full of books expounding that feeling that anyone who doesn't read would never understand....it's a book thing.
