Oh so true. I love all things British so I am always reading and seeking out new things. I watch a lot of BBC America and I find myself-without even realizing it-saying a lot of phrases that would be considered from across the pond.
I come from a place where there are people with French accents who don't speak French and people with Scots accents who don't speak Gaelic. They've kept the accents without the language, which I find fascinating. I like your accent, Peter. It's not one of those "cut-glass" accents that makes a person want to sit up straight and mind their manners.
Hi Peter, I think what you had to say about languages and dialects was interesting. As you suggested,most of our references not long ago were from our immediate neighbours. Now, with the media the way it is we get a sampling of many dialects. I guess we will have to wait and see which one ends up winning out
I'm an American who has long loved the British accents and ways of saying things, whether Cockney or the clear tones of the BBC news. The spellings are even kind of fun sometimes (favourite, programme, etc). :-)
nice one Peter, We need the old Dunkirk Spirit Back Again in our country and nicer people!!! Thanks for your English Ramblings old chum, please carry on for years to come
John Hurt left school a 9 'o'clock?A.M or P.M. He was either very smart or very dim then! HAHA. Yes peter there is always an off button but i'm guessing not many people are using it in your case. yet another great piece of youtube-ing. thank you.
you dont need more strusture in your videos dont worry about it, we just love your opinions and want to hear ure wisdom oh old one! i dont know why i havnt subscribed up until now but i can soon fix that!
Peter, thank you so much for sharing your wonderful lucid observations and recollections. You are a contemporary of my parents (long since past), a fellow artist, a fellow musicologist and a true treasure to many, including this "'L'il' ol' boy from Texas". Peace and Godspeed.
I suppose you also know Sonny and Terry's music? I looked around here so my guitarist son could be exposed to the blues harp, and found it wasn't easy. I could not recall Sonny or Terry's last names. Finally, I saw that they were Brown and Mcgee. Not certain of the spelling.
Old age is not a disease—it is strength and survivorship, triumph over all kinds of vicissitudes and disappointments, trials and illnesses. - Maggie Kuhn (b. 1905), U.S. civil rights activist, author. quoted in New Age (Feb. 1979).
Havent you realized that on your own? Geeze, do people have to be close to death to realize such things, or be told by wise old men? People today, they dont understand or appreciate the precious life they are given.
Why are you involved wuth Argent009? Why did you approve him to put that video online? I think you made a big mistake allowing that video to go online. Sorry Peter I think it was a huge mistake..Seeya..
How about 1-41 on DVD for $30? I'll cross my legs, sit on the floor, eat popcorn and and listen endlessly to grandad like I did when I was 12.... Make this happen Peter.
Well I talk to aussie girls all the time, then again I live in australia, but also I got an american mate and its rubbing off onto me at times where I will speak with the american accent but now hes losing his amex and speaking aussie tongue.
As an American, I've always considered British English superior. But perhaps it's an unfair comparison since I mostly compare the language of my friends (teenagers) to the language of respected people on BBC and such.
I talk to an Australian girl online sometimes and it's amazing how much of her language is foreign to me.
i sent you a message once and you replied not only with great respect but with quite a bit of haste as well. we appreciate your concern for our messages and comments just as much as you enjoy to get them. thanks for another great video Peter! :)
I pray England never looses their English way of speaking. It's the most beautiful way. I an Acadian french Canadian, and my english is not very good. But I've always adored England's english.
Maybe the french Canadians Quebecers - they are known to not like any kind of english, lol. That is our stereo-type of them. I am in New Brunswick, very different kind of french than the Quebecers. I'm an Acadian, different from Quebecers. And here everyone I know seems to love the English. :-)
I think the film you refer to which made the name of Jane Pussell as a sex symbol was the film 'The Outlaw' - very daring at the time. Every girl wanted to be Jane Russell. She was also very good in 'Gentleman Prefer Blondes'.
great video. i love your video's. keep up the good work. one very small question. you were talking aobut how some of the english boys and girls are tal;kign now with the hip hop or american accents... we as americans can hear the english accent. but do we have an accent to you?
Yes...you do have accents. the particular ones that I can place geographically are: the original 13 states, texan and south western. of course you will never be able to do so listening to Hollywood/TV speech elocution and voice coaching will destroy specific accents.
I find it amusing that while the Chinese and Polish and others are trying to master a proper British accent, young Brits are trying to master a proper American accent.
It reminds me of the naming of side-bacon. In the US they call it "Canadian bacon" while we here in Canada call it "English bacon". I wonder who the English blame it on? :-)
I have a (sort of) friend on Stickam named Metalhead, who has (to me) a very thick English accent that is definitely not the Queen's. In fact it approaches Cockney in its density, and it's difficult for my Californian ears to pick apart. Has anyne else had difficulties with the ways others speak?
Are you one of those old repressed english cracker faggots? I sense that u may be one of those little sensative ass fuckers. You know those boring british racist fucking droney voiced idiots that think that their idiotic thoughts gain revelence if spoken in the KING's english. Hey near death faggot fuck. We don't don't give a fuck about your king. In fact niether does your own uptight little boy buggering country.
Which King? There has been no British king since 1952. You are behind the times, boyo - or maybe it girlie? Education is a wonderful thing. Why don't you try it? Love and kisses xxxx
I dont even know where to begin with how wrong that comment is. There hasn't been a King of England for over 50 years. Its like me trying to insult an american person by telling them I hate their president Eisenhower. I cant believe the ignorance of some people
The comment wasnt directed at you Aldev, it was meant for bignomad. Sorry for the confusion, I thought you might think that just after I posted. I agree with your comment about it being an accent.
Mississippi John Hurt is one of my FAVORITE blues men!! Yes, I'm old enough that I got to see him back in the early 60s (we were very much into the blues and folk genre at the time) in Los Angeles at a small club. "Lay Me a Pallet on your Floor" is one of my fave songs. I was also lucky enough to see Sonny Terry and Brownie McGee around the same time.
DN64, Who do you think you are exactly? Argent has the right to tell the truth, but that doesn't give you the right to JUDGE you fool. People like you just have no lives of their own. You remind me of my mother-in-law you self centered idiot.
awilliams100, who do think YOU are? Trying to tell me I don't have a right to an opinion based on what I see and hear? Fuck you. I have the right to an opinion as much as Argent009 does. I have right the to judge him as much as he has the right to judge renetto -- even if I don't agree with some of the things he says about him. My life is fantastic (thanks for bringing it up) -- it couldn't be better. Sorry to hear that your mother-in-law gets you all pissy (like you are now).
I never said that it wasnt a word, you are just using it incorrectly, "pal". Again with the numbering, get over yourself - you're not important enough for your opinions to require reference points. And no, you didn't say that exactly - however, the fact that you brought up those points along with your arguement suggests that you equate them. If you cannot understand that, Ill phrase it differently - you believe that the fact that he smokes impacts upon his opinion.
If you don't understand the reference behind me using the term "panhandling" then so be it -- it's not that complex.
You are a juvenile, I numbered my points to make it easier for you to grasp my points, yet that still didn't seem to work.
"you believe that the fact that he smokes impacts upon his opinion." <- How many fucking times do I have to say NO, NOT AT ALL. Re-read what I've said twice now -- how "thickheaded" can you be?!
Thanks again Peter. Although for some bizarre reason I'm still not getting your comment under my video. How odd but I thank you for the trouble you went to in posting me one. Glad you enjoyed the video. Would you like to star in the next one god sir? ha ha! Go on.
Jane Russel showed a bit of cleavage in the 40's in the Outlaw, The young Widow (renamed in the US as The Naughty Widow) :o and Paleface, then into the 50's with His kind of Woman. Not sure which one you fancied. I find myself denouncing this American way in favor of other Countries across the pond ;) Especially since the year 2000!
Where is the video geriatric 1927 post a day or so ago calling out Renetto for calling him a YouTube Traitor?
I can't find it now. Was it taken down? By whom?It Geriatric lambasted Renetto saying he didn't need permission to post at LiveVideo if that's what he wanted to do. Why did geriatric1927 take it down?
Political reasons aside, I suspect that's more to do with how rude Americans seem based on their speech. E.g., in a shop: "I'll take this" or "Give me%2qa3MLAAAAUks5Q0xkYWQ2dmNzCwAAAFFvOUJqanlHTS1V
Am an Amrcn who lived in Engld for 4 yrs in mid&late '90s, in my teens. Back then, though obviously some previously Amrcn vocab had been adopted, it seemed all the Brtsh kids spoke with their own local accents, or at least some kind of obviously Brtsh accent. Nowadays, I find Brtsh, Irish, and N'Z'land teens on YT whose ACCENTS (not just vocab) sound very Amrcn-influenced. Much harder to place them w/out checking profiles. Fascinating effect of cheap/free 2-way voice communication.
Probably had to squeeze 'em in order to fit YouTube's maximum character limit. The opposite of lazy -- actually had to spend some time to figure out where characters could be omitted without losing clarity.
Exactly. :) 500-character limit. Compared to a few (or even more than a few) thousands at many other websites. Another aspect YT should change: the link you click to get to someone's reply doesn't necessarily take you to the actual page of comments where your message is, AND, once you find your comment, the replies may then be on the NEXT page.
Lovely chat, Peter! I love the thoughts around languages, being multilingual myself.
The music is cool. I like how you introduce us to these musicians we would never have heard of otherwise!
Went to see your angry vid again - I was just so impressed by it - and NOBODY has given R what for as well as you did! But it is gone :-( I understand, but I will miss it!
My friend went to Singapore and they talk in queens english it was fascinating to think that not only English but queen's language so there are different English
Good music peter, but would have liked to have heard it all. I travel in Europe, and love various accents of english, but am fear struck that my southern accent sounds so uncouth.
Jane Russell's screen debut was "The Outlaw"--cleavage galor! Directed by Howard Hughes. It was a western telling the tale of Billy the Kid and "the sexy dame who loves him." Walter Huston plays Doc Holliday. I'm pretty sure that in reality Bily the Kid and Doc Holliday never met.
Peter, I enjoyed your talk about the 'Queen's' English and the other national variations to it. Before YouTube, I was never exposed to many different accents. To my American ears, the accents of the UK just sounds more sophisticated. Alistair Cooke could read the ingredients of a box of cereal, and I would be enthralled.
Thanks for watching Peter. I do enjoy that grandma character indeed. Sadly matey I didn't get your comment? I think my comments aren't working right. Ah that's a terrible shame. Thanks anyway, it's very much appreciated.
Just repeating what i already said in a mail to you: you're inspiring and i send you the best wishes to you from Mexico. It's just awesome the fact you're doing videos and sharing your life with us.
In Wales (For Americans: Also part of Britain but not part of England) no one uses American-English that much. (At least not in my part) I blame it on the overload of American kids TV which is quite frankly crap and generic. No offence to Americans :P.
Well you obviously don't know anything about child tv programming in the US. In fact, I believe that something like 75% of all child aimed programming must be educational.
Maybe on PBS, but the childrens programs on cable t.v. are horrendous and are nothing more than marketing tools to buy crap associated with the characters. When it comes to programming for teens, take a look at the load of crap of MTV.
Every day before i go to bed i watch one of ure videos =)
But i can agree with you.Every time I was in England i noticed that most of the yound people try to speak with an american accent.But i like the britisch accent more ;)
Truly enjoy watching your videos Peter. If you'd be interested in seeing my homage to 'old folk' and how we must embrace the brilliant of the older generation then pop along and see my videos. They are a comical parody that I hope you'll enjoy.
Hope you'll reply. And all the very best with everything, you are an inspiration to us all.
I may be in the minority, but I don't think you should have removed the response to Renetto. You were right, you HAD the right to be angry, and any semblance of an apology he's given was half-hearted and buried in bluster.
Wiley: I agree with what Peter said in his response, and I agree with what you're saying here, but what that guy wanted was attention, and he did not deserve to be given any, especially from someone respectable like Peter.
Two of my favorite authors are Val McDermid and Ian Rankin. I think I have read just about everything they have written. McDermid's protagonist Tony Hill is one of my favorite characters.
That's such a pretty song. I just wanted to let you know how much I enjoy your videos. They're almost therapeutic...so peaceful and thoughtful. Anyhow, carry on and keep up the good work! :)
Peter, another articulate and engaging video, you're a very interesting and enlightened gentleman. I wish I'd subscribed long ago. Don't leave it too long til the next one.

2. Numbering your points is extremely juvenile.
3. What bearing does his smoking, eating or employment habits upon his opinions?

1. Panhandling is a word -- YOU are the one that needs a dictionary, pal.
2. I am catering to you seeing as you are a juvenile.
3. I never said that -- try again.

I never said that it wasnt a word, you are just using it incorrectly, "pal". Again with the numbering, get over yourself - you're not important enough for your opinions to require reference points. And no, you didn't say that exactly - however, the fact that you brought up those points along with your arguement suggests that you equate them. If you cannot understand that, Ill phrase it differently - you believe that the fact that he smokes impacts upon his opinion.
Aldev 5 years ago
If you don't understand the reference behind me using the term "panhandling" then so be it -- it's not that complex.
You are a juvenile, I numbered my points to make it easier for you to grasp my points, yet that still didn't seem to work.
"you believe that the fact that he smokes impacts upon his opinion." <- How many fucking times do I have to say NO, NOT AT ALL. Re-read what I've said twice now -- how "thickheaded" can you be?!

Jane Russel showed a bit of cleavage in the 40's in the Outlaw, The young Widow (renamed in the US as The Naughty Widow) :o and Paleface, then into the 50's with His kind of Woman. Not sure which one you fancied. I find myself denouncing this American way in favor of other Countries across the pond ;) Especially since the year 2000!

Where is the video geriatric 1927 post a day or so ago calling out Renetto for calling him a YouTube Traitor?
I can't find it now. Was it taken down? By whom?It Geriatric lambasted Renetto saying he didn't need permission to post at LiveVideo if that's what he wanted to do. Why did geriatric1927 take it down?
Or does anyone know how to find it?

I find most Europeans and especially Brits extremely arrogant and hateful toward Americans.
sleestack 5 years ago
Political reasons aside, I suspect that's more to do with how rude Americans seem based on their speech. E.g., in a shop: "I'll take this" or "Give me%2qa3MLAAAAUks5Q0xkYWQ2dmNzCwAAAFFvOUJqanlHTS1V

Am an Amrcn who lived in Engld for 4 yrs in mid&late '90s, in my teens. Back then, though obviously some previously Amrcn vocab had been adopted, it seemed all the Brtsh kids spoke with their own local accents, or at least some kind of obviously Brtsh accent. Nowadays, I find Brtsh, Irish, and N'Z'land teens on YT whose ACCENTS (not just vocab) sound very Amrcn-influenced. Much harder to place them w/out checking profiles. Fascinating effect of cheap/free 2-way voice communication.

Probably had to squeeze 'em in order to fit YouTube's maximum character limit. The opposite of lazy -- actually had to spend some time to figure out where characters could be omitted without losing clarity.
Keeper1st 5 years ago
Exactly. :) 500-character limit. Compared to a few (or even more than a few) thousands at many other websites. Another aspect YT should change: the link you click to get to someone's reply doesn't necessarily take you to the actual page of comments where your message is, AND, once you find your comment, the replies may then be on the NEXT page.

The music is cool. I like how you introduce us to these musicians we would never have heard of otherwise!
Went to see your angry vid again - I was just so impressed by it - and NOBODY has given R what for as well as you did! But it is gone :-( I understand, but I will miss it!

Good music peter, but would have liked to have heard it all. I travel in Europe, and love various accents of english, but am fear struck that my southern accent sounds so uncouth.

Jane Russell's screen debut was "The Outlaw"--cleavage galor! Directed by Howard Hughes. It was a western telling the tale of Billy the Kid and "the sexy dame who loves him." Walter Huston plays Doc Holliday. I'm pretty sure that in reality Bily the Kid and Doc Holliday never met.

I must correct you. Jane Russell had more than just a "little amount of cleavage".
jayess 5 years ago
Peter, I enjoyed your talk about the 'Queen's' English and the other national variations to it. Before YouTube, I was never exposed to many different accents. To my American ears, the accents of the UK just sounds more sophisticated. Alistair Cooke could read the ingredients of a box of cereal, and I would be enthralled.

In Wales (For Americans: Also part of Britain but not part of England) no one uses American-English that much. (At least not in my part) I blame it on the overload of American kids TV which is quite frankly crap and generic. No offence to Americans :P.
Mikel4321 5 years ago
Well you obviously don't know anything about child tv programming in the US. In fact, I believe that something like 75% of all child aimed programming must be educational.
patio87 5 years ago
Maybe on PBS, but the childrens programs on cable t.v. are horrendous and are nothing more than marketing tools to buy crap associated with the characters. When it comes to programming for teens, take a look at the load of crap of MTV.

Truly enjoy watching your videos Peter. If you'd be interested in seeing my homage to 'old folk' and how we must embrace the brilliant of the older generation then pop along and see my videos. They are a comical parody that I hope you'll enjoy.
Hope you'll reply. And all the very best with everything, you are an inspiration to us all.
2sugarsta 5 years ago
I may be in the minority, but I don't think you should have removed the response to Renetto. You were right, you HAD the right to be angry, and any semblance of an apology he's given was half-hearted and buried in bluster.

Wiley: I agree with what Peter said in his response, and I agree with what you're saying here, but what that guy wanted was attention, and he did not deserve to be given any, especially from someone respectable like Peter.
