[CML3103]

Congratulations ! I listening you from France, you are a good pianist !

[TheAtma]

Checkout Willhelm Kempf. One of my favorite performances of his was Beethovens 14th sonata.

There's a recording of him performing it in his early 90s. Maybe even as old as 95.

Search "Wilhelm Kempf Moonlight Sonata"

The third movement is just astounding..

[tjmpiano]

that is enough to restores ones faith humanity...

Thank you

Tom .

[millsmillsmills]

What is he playing in the beginning? Is it just improvised, or does anyone know if it's any song in particular?

[atonement47]

I sang with my choir and he was there at a retirement home he played for us and it was REALLY good

[FLIGHTCOMPANY]

See, music does make people live a long life. Good Job and keep it up!

[rapanaos]

è bello sapere che nonostante l'età ci si possa ancora interessare ai pianoforti

[jrubball]

[jo05dk]

The same could be said for your comment Kaieggers. I can't possible come up with something better to say, so i'll just have to agree with you.

Generally speaking i think that it's great to see clips like this one on YT. Makes the thought of growing old seem a little less scary.

[shaunalivers]

Amazing...and great touch on the piano !!!

[hockenstein01]

I had to laugh, when the man was opening it, he had some trouble getting it open. I never built a piano, but I bet its pretty complicated. I just thought it was ironic that he had trouble opening the front, after building it. Just funny to me.

[MunzerI92]

you're an asshole

[squiggly9]

i want to be like him when im older. this guy's awesome!

This video makes me happy. My grandma passed away unexpectedly but she was my role model.. she taught me everything I knew about the piano. You are a new inspiration to me

[michaeljholme]

As a piano tuner (electronic variety to be precise) I can only say whow and can we charge the same !!!! :)

Mike

[BlckMohawk]

Wow...I really am amazed! Although I don't know why, by the man, or the pian?

[tomhikon]

I could only ever dream of living to be 92 let alone 92 and still playing the keys...absolutely remarkable.

[Garymailman]

What a wonderful real person you are! I like to play. I like to build. I am half your age and I know I will never be able to do either as well as you. Thanks for the inspiration,

Gary

[Crulamin835]

[psychowolfman]

[psychowolfman]

Awesome idea i was thinking of a differnt shape grand or square but its nice

[kingOFjoplin]

It's a real dude:D

[PianoHead26]

I want a piano like that, I am a traveling musican, and that would come in handy, I could build one, if you have plans or instructions for the prototype, Id love to build one. Thanks for showing.

[Hobomaster99]

Lol great job

[Gman53331]

thats just great!!!!!!!! =D

[crazyMarie60]

I am the high school friend of your grandaughter Ellen and she told me to come check out your video. I think the piano, and you, are amazing!

[bjmapa]

this is amazing!

[cortachy]

sitting in the house on a dull wet day in Scotland! you managed to make my husband and I smile!

[TheFamousStacie]

Saw you in the Wall Street Journal! Way to go!

[pgord49]

Ready to cheer everyone. Thanks for your response. Paul G

[charityarmstrong]

I really enjoyed your video. You're very talented and the piano you've made is the perfect size. It sounds great as well. My husband is a navy pilot, and so my poor old Baldwin gets dragged around by movers quite a bit. Perhaps you should market your piano! Thank you so much for sharing with everyone.  :)

[jz4ducks]

I just want to say how much I enjoyed this.I wished I could reach out and give Mr. Gordan a hug. What a nice sweet man you are a gem...You are so smart and talented. Bravo....Bravo...You really touched my heart and I thank you.

[bakasyatyo]

I live in japan. i don't understand what you say.

but i understand you are cool!! i wanna grow like you,paul!

[lrgpp]

I was on Yahoo finance web site reading about IACI(IAC interactive corp) and found the news article about Paul. Favorited this. Thank you

[lrgpp]

Sometimes I think of visiting an older person to cheer them up. Maybe you'll get a surprise and find a diamond like this man.

[gagama46]

Excellent video.  No pretensions. Any one with musical ability should see this. Thanks Paul

[adrianavasquez]

Wonderfull Paul!!!

[brucehauns]

Nice playin'! And great article in today's Wall Street Journal!

[ThreeBlindBumblebees]

Congrats on being featured on the front page of the Personal Journal section of the Wall Street Journal! Keep on rolling!
