  • Can't believe that anyone wouldn't pay for expenses so you could jam with the rest of your band. geriatric1927 you are now a Rock star you shouldn't have to worry about the cost of a room or cab fare!! Keep rockin' for another 90! God Bless

  • Nice video.. Im yust 15 yers old and i love your videos-- I love your voice.

  • A media form filled with young people and young perspectives has chosen its Grampa, an older fellow with a youthful soul. I discovered your videos tonight and am compelled to cheer you on. Way to go Geriatric1927 keep it up!

  • What a wonderful day an age we have stumbled into where youth, no longer spoon fed by mass media, chooses to entertain itself, communicating amoungst itself, and translating itself past the barriers of physical age. The true youth within is our humanity. The plain and simple "what you get is what you see" approach you have taken is refreshing and honest.

  • Keep it up geriatric1927. I'm glad that there are people like you who represent your generation. You are a good ambassador to your generation.

  • Peter wise words as usual how under reported are the 100s and thousands of youngsters missing out on education and childhood not because they are mischievious but because they arte full time carers to disabled parents or siblings saving social services£millions an example of how superb many youngsters are

  • Peter, thanks so much for all your videos. I always feel like I've come home and am sitting once again at the feet of my grandfather learning from this wealth of knowledge that you and he both share. Much Love,

    ~Rose

  • WILL yOu be MY BOYFRIEND?

  • no but i will

  • Another nice video, geriatric1927!

  • Anyhow, don't let people get you down and looking at all these comments, a lot of youtubers clearly support you. (This comment is for video 50, somehow it wasn't letting me submit comments for that video.)

  • This is the first time I'm commenting on one of your videos but I've watched the last 3 or 4 and I really like listening to your commentary (like your first ride on a motorcycle!). I'm sorry that people are doing this to you and I hope that you do post more videos in the fututre (but again that's totally up to you; your health should come first).

  • You remind me of someone I know. She's also about 80 years, started using a PC and Internet 3 years ago and is very enthusiastically using it on a daily basis which is very nice to see. I really respect that.

  • Go ol' chap, your THE mordern man :D

  • Great vids, great to see you on YouTube! I can't believe the disrespectful and obscene comments people post to try to be funny though. Grow up guys.

  • If I lived over in the UK I would come and paint your wall for you... Loves and Hugs...Enticia! Thanks for subscribing!

  • The bright blue tie is immense

  • I wish I had data bandwidth to watch these often

  • wow a 24" iMac!! the cameras on those are amazing, another great movie, thanks

  • Hello Peter,

    Really enjoy watching your videos here on Youtube. I live in the states and heard you say hotel rooms in London cost 300 pounds. I know your currency is worth more than ours here in the USA but what exactly is 300 pounds worth in dollars? Thank you and have a great day.

    Phil

  • youre wonderful =]

  • congrats on your IMAC! I'm delighted with mine. I always look forward to your chats.

  • You're my hero.

  • Hello Peter. Just caught up with some of your previous videos and I'm impressed by both your eloquence and relevance. I did some work on iMacs recently, they're very intuitive and the 24" monitor sounds awesome, enjoy.

  • thank you.

  • i like when you laugh lol :P

  • The white tie is a very elegant touch! Peter, you're one

    great man... Imac! good on you! I'm adding a very exciting video response. My apologies for the girlfriend

    getting the year wrong. You look young, is my excuse...

  • Wow! I agree with jetsterp, you're the man Peter!!

  • You're the man geriatric1927! Gumption!

  • geriatric1927 listen to a band called three days grace they rock

  • Peter, thanks for your friendship and boy I enjoy your videos you are one of the few wholesem things left in the world of the internet :)

  • Peter,

    You are a star. I'm a baby boomer whose dad passed away when I was a teenager. I know lots of guys your age. They are a font of knowledge, as are you. Please ignore the rude comments and keep the videos coming. They make my day.

    From the heartland of the USA

  • Sir Peter, Thanks again, and more Plz, (still).You are not only 'a Gentleman and a scholar', but a moral and spiritual compase... Best wishes, from 'across the pond', East coast,USA

  • I like to hear youre stories

  • nice piece of art, have never seen it before

  • lol nice but i thought it was to him when i first saw haha

  • I enjoy your videos, they are great.

  • Another fantastic update from Peter :)

  • old ppl using technology... correctly... thats a first.

  • You are wrong, StoneDomino:

    Some now "old" people started inventing in their younger years technology, and that's why yóu are able to use it now (probably without understanding it)....

  • Lol, well it's not everyday you see a 79 yr old man with a headset and cam posting videos on YouTube, you gotta give me that... Lol.

  • I stumbled across you today on you tube and cant stop watching! Your wondereful! THEN I found out you had something to do with the Zimmers band which I stumbled across a week ago! It's a small world. I wish you were my neighbor, Id make us tea. You are my Moms age and I wish Id had a father like you. Keep up the great work!

  • Awhh My Gosh!! I Lovee you soo much!! Be my grandad :]]]! Hehe lol. Wick' vid peterr <33

  • Great Vid, Peter, The newspaper article is great too.

    THANKS, for ALL you DO for ALL GENERATIONS,

  • very interesting. Good video. I like the music at the end

  • bugger off nomrman

  • You're not going to believe me if I tell you this Peter, but I might be coming into a substantial amount of money soon, as an idea I have thought of is gaining some real momentuem. I see your old computer was giving you trouble and I thought I would do you a favor if my idea took off I was going to buy you a 24" iMac. Why? Cause we all love you Peter.

  • ..but then you went and bought your own one. Like I said it really is unbelievable - but it is true. I love seeing genuine people get a head in life, and I really thought you just deserved some luxuries. Keep up the great work Peter, you mean a lot to all of all of us.

  • Keep it up, you're great. Seriously, your a good man.

  • 300 pounds a night! wow thats about 650 us dollars a night. I hope they were staying in a Hyatt or other 5 star hotel. Anyway, I watch your videos from time to time first heard of you through australiannews. I wish I could get my grandfather to do a channel simliar to yours. For now I guess I will just have to adopt you as my hypothetical english grandfather.

  • Hey geriatric1927, thought i'd drop by, check your still goin. Good to hear your still rambling away!

  • I agree with kdtalbot, very very well said! Also I love the music you put on at the end of your videos. It has sent me to the music store and amazon more than once since I've discovered your channel. Glad your so busy with everything and I have to say it really agrees with you, you look great! Cheers Peter :)

  • Well said Peter!

    Your best video yet. :)

  • hi am a 13 year old girl and i would like to say thank you for defeading us kids and understating the way we feel. and you are very funny.

  • A Canadian grandfather of three beautiful children and father of two handsome sons appreciates your comments and great work. Go grey power!

  • Read your interview in the paper last week and subsequent re-post tonight and had to check this for myself. Glad to say really enjoyed and long may you reign Peter.

  • Sir Peter .. do walk on for many many years for you enlighten this earth. Generations will always have "gaps". It is up to the individual person to close that gap. Take care and will patiently await the new look of your wall and seeing you on you new mac.

  • Wonderful, Peter. My world's a better place when you say "hello, youtube".

    You are so right - the generation gap cuts both ways, and both sides lose.

    I tips me lid.

    Regards as aways - RW

  • This is my first time to hear of you... Im quite new to youtube. Being 24, I'm quite young compared to you. I am from America, where respect regarding elders doesn't really exist. I want to tell you how awesome it is that you are vblogging. My dad is young enough to be you son and he doesnt even know how to turn a computer on. Bottom line, in the language of us "whippersnappers"(sorry for the youngster joke, I couldn't resist) You ROCK! Have a nice day, sir.

  • The Sang's first video. Watch out You... The Sang's first video. Watch out YouTube...it's the Sang!

  • When ever you say "Hello YouTubers" I am always waiting for some crazy thing to happen because you say it with such softness. You know like when they have those scary videos.

  • You know, Likecards, I am sorry to say, that for many people meeting somebody like Peter who is "just normal", is something absolutely new, and quite scary and something they really have to get used to..:)

  • lol?

  • Wallpaper gone? HERESY!!!, shame be upon your head! Please keep a patch at least, don't callously discard the old! Don't hoist yourself on your own petard!!! Well, if you do, at least video it.....[:-)

  • I love the music at the end

    as always you remind me of my own grandad - he seems to share many of your views on things

    Walk on geriatric1927!

  • Hello peter its my first time on youtube and to come across your site and watch your video's was nice to see and the story's of your times as a young boy i rember them too please keep up the great..work and informaion you give to the younger people that watch them.you give a very true storey's of us geriatric's.

  • "Hello youtubers"

    I love all your videos, I have watched them all and I will continue to do so

  • Good luck with your changes. We enjoy your stories.

  • Now your not going to tell me that was apple juice are you ;)

  • HAHA, I like the wallpaper. YOu rock! :-)

  • Youre a great man. Some of us young people are bad but most are very stereotyped. I should get my grandmother into youtube.

  • There's good and bad in every generation; old people can be guilty of judging young people by their appearance when in reality some really nice young people have piercings and unusual hairstyles.

  • nice to see an old person being able to see how its hard to grow up these days...wish i had been born in a simpler time

  • Where abouts in uk are you from anyway?

  • I think the answer is somewhere in the midlands, Worcestershire rings a bell

  • keep it up, grandpa! love your videos. <3

  • I liked your commentary> Stay well. Chris

  • Sallam wr,,sir,,in western countrys thye put the old out to pasture or stick them away in homes. I enjoy your music also. if the world had more like you? there would be less like me. May you have many more years Inshallah.

  • I love you

  • Derbyshire?! Where abouts do you live? I live in Matlock :D

  • love always great man, you make me proud to be english.

  • Nice rosy cheeks... vbg

  • You are the best! I am curious however. Was that an english scotch you were drinking there, or tea?

  • Such a wonderful person. To grow in both years and wisdom, retaining a realistic world view and a sense of humour, is certainly not a thing all get to experience. I'm glad to listen to him. He's a good and noble example of his generation. I wish all the best for him and the Zimmers band, too.

  • Love the Sonny Terry/Brownie McGee tune, good choice. Lovely to see you as always. Hope the remodeling goes well but save a smidge of that wallpaper for posterity! :-)

  • 6 more subscribers and you have 50k subscribers yaaay :D

  • Tis my goal to own an IMac "24 before the year is up. You will LOVE it! It's very easy to use.

    I enjoy your videos soo much, and the imac will make things a lot easier. See you soon!

  • true true true, you really hit the point! as you always do Peter.. i can't wait for imac to be finished.. and oh very nice song at the end so relaxing!

  • I am so happy to hear you got yourself a mac computer. I am sure you will learn to love it. I sure love mine:)

  • Love listening to you so much! Wish i could have a cup or two with ya and listen to some of your stories, but alas, ill just listen here! :) Good luck with your new computer, look forward to hearing more from you! :)

  • You're the best Peter

  • Thank you again, Peter for your insights. I'm so glad you are computer literate (Macs are easy), and I'm looking forward to your new digs.

  • 24" iMac...wow...nice purchase...

    Hope 2 c another vid. from your soon mate...

    Sam.

  • Very nice article in the paper. Thanks for sharing. As always, I loved this video (and the music).

  • You are my new favorite person on YouTube. Love the song at the end as well!! Best wishes.

  • Peter i love your Wallpaper. i think Peter should be awarded for a medal! :D

  • I look forward to seeign how the mac helps your videos, and how your room will look after the re dec ;)

  • Its so true what u say some of the comments i see on your videos and other videos, from people my age make me cringe in embarrasment. Your videos are great and good luck with the new computer!

  • I'm a recent subscriber, but i've been watching your videos for a while now, and i never get tired of listening you. :) Hope you're well.

  • Mr G, What do you think we get a van & go to the old folks jail & grab a bunch of the boy's. We can all go for a beer & then maybe a panty raid!!. Bring your cane, it helps. You are awesome.

  • that was a scotch! the song concept was excellent, i would love to have gone to abbey road

  • I always love to see you and hear you.

  • good vid.

  • You're a legend.

  • Great Music, geriatric1927

    -=Neo=-

  • I was quite fond of your wallpaper. What will you replace it with?

  • Peter, thanks for another great video and thanks for helping me refocus on old Blues music. Enjoy yourself

  • This is derbyshire? Im from Ilkeston, if you know where that is :)

  • Great news Peter!

    Your the best!

  • OMG I AM SO PROUD OF YOU! lol I can't beleive you got an iMac you have made my day :) I suggested that but I'm sure lots of people did =]

  • Nice buy with the Mac! I can't imagine what a difference a 24" screen is going to be like! As a heads up, to record videos on a Mac you can use iMovie (the clapper-board icon), using "iSight" as the video format when asked. Click the Camcorder Icon (next to the scissors) to record. There are a number of good books on "iLife'06" which cover video editing, music, podcasting and all the productive stuff on a Mac.

  • if i have only half the heart snd soul as you when i'm your age i will be content. congrads on getting your new computer. love and peace and blues to you.

  • You sound like a great guy, keep up the good work

  • pedo alert

  • It's OK Takahashi, you don't need to announce your personal problems, we're a very tolerant bunch. Besides, the more time spend here, and less time you spend staring at children, the better I think. I don't think geriatric1927's your type.

  • I've got the Zimmer's song on my mp3 player. I absolutely love it. Magnificent.

    Keep up the good work.

    (P.S. I didn't know that Buster was 100! I was shocked.)

  • yay peter!

  • Nice to hear you again Peter. Glad things are going well and with a new computer! Look forward to your next video. Take care

  • Peter you do so much to help bridge the gap between the seniors and younger people, you should be very proud of that (: as usual great story i love listening to them. take care and God Bless...

    -Anna

  • You're helping to break down the barriers between old and young, Peter, a very valuable service. I think each group tends to fear the other somewhat, but that needn't be the case.

    I like your taste in music very much.

  • Keep it going fella, older people tend to moan too much. They should get out there and have some fun !

  • As usual great listening to you Peter

    Maria

  • I heard that Peter had sued some children hospital,dont know much about it though,can you tells us why you did it Peter?

  • Macs are super easy! My mum loves them!

  • thanks for your nice words.

    It seems like there are people in every generation who are ignorant. There are young people who don't appreciate old ones and old ones who don't appreciate young people. and all the age groups inbetween aren't any better. I am very glad you are different.

    Thanks for being different!

  • Hey Peter,

    You are doing a great job. Thank you.

  • Peter, are you a widower or bachelor?

  • Snoccy,

    I read that Peter lost his wife so he is a widower. I would love to be able to see some of his wifes work.

  • whoops - forgot to write that she is described as a talented artist.

  • Nice Peter...that word does seem to describe you. In the USA, they call people your age the "greatest generation." I think of it, as doing the "right thing." Thank you for your videos!...they are a pleasure.

  • Peter, your tie really stands out in this video...

    Why not selling signed pieces of your historical background wallpaper on Ebay for charity?

  • Watch my chipmunk ninja videos Peter! You will laugh your old butt off.

  • Petah, so happy to c u back + that you invested in a Mac. They're so much more user friendly that You'll have to unlearn all the b.s. that u used 2 no & get really basic & wonder why u had a pc 4 these previous yrs..really!!

    mc

  • great vid Peter thanks mate

  • Great update Peter. thanks for the video. :)

  • Great vid Peter! keep up the awesome work:D!!

  • Terrific! And I loved the Zimmers and shared with friends. I think you will find your new Mac easier than a PC, at least not more difficult. They aren't so different from each other.  Looking forward to more from you.

  • Great as always, Peter. You make my day.

  • Great article about you Peter. Keep the vids coming my friend.

  • thanks once again Peter. I love listening to you talk you are very soothing and wise in life. I have learned alot and plan to learn alot more from you. keep talking sir.

  • May I suggest saving a wee 5x7 section of the Matisse-esque wallpaper, lovingly framing it, and hanging it in a place of honor in the newly done over digs. It was that wallpaper that hooked me from the get go, you were a delightfully unexpected by-product. :)

  • Hear-hear! A fond little memento for everyone who liked it, and a little slice of mockery for those who didn't. ^^

  • brenda, great idea! I will miss the wallpaper!

  • I'm always hanging out at the senior center.

  • Enjoy your new computer and redecorated room Peter.

  • But..but...I like the wallpaper!!

    Great vid as always Peter.

  • If he ever does remove the wallpaper, you can all forget it, I've got dibs on it! :)

  • Great song! I'm going to miss the wallpaper.

  • i dig the music. well done peter!

  • I look forward to your new backdrop Peter!. Make sure you put E.T. in a safe place, we don't want him splattered with paint!.

  • Horray for getting a Mac! I hope you enjoy it. I have to say, I have been watching your videos, and you look very similar to my grandfather. He was born in 1907. So many of the things you lived through, he did as well. It's interesting for me to hear about your life experieces since I never really got the chance to hear stories from my grandfather. Ignore anyone who tells you to stop making videos, because you should keep making them. They are interesting.

  • Ditto for me. Love your videos & music choice.

  • good job:)

  • Hello from Vancouver, Canada :) You seem like a wonderful man, Peter. I enjoy watching your videos. Thanks very much for posting them, and for including some lovely music for us to enjoy. Take care!

  • Hope you have great day peter

  • cool man peter!

  • i'm so happy for all of your success. and you sound so excited about your new computer!

  • great vid peter

    nice to see ur gettin ur

    room re-decorated lol

  • I have been visiting convelescents for years and they are so lonely and wouldn't it be grand if we could get the youth and them connected so that not only the youth can glean, enjoy and celebrate the wisdom of seniors..but vice a versa for the seniors to enjoy the vitality and hope of the youth! Thanks for enlightening us Peter!

  • Peter, I am so glad to see someone of the elder generations being open to technologies which seem so foreign to most. I think if more people like you did things like this it would greatly improve the respect for our elders and help the world. Thank you.
