Malcolm, thank you so much for your continued creativity and collaboration. I have to agree with Phil, that your poetry is especially special when "you are yourself reciting." . . . and your response!!!! - "I don't think poetry lives on the flat page . . . a poem has to be breathed into the air . . . to shimmer into being ..." How lovely! This resonates so true to me, I much prefer reading my own poetry out loud. sharing the written form feels like only a fractious delivery at best. So grateful!

A couple of nicely aged chaps enjoying a chinwag, a pipe and a poem. Lovely stuff.

[@time_for_fast]

Phil Keaggy is one of my favourite people in the world and seeing him together with you is an absolute thrill

[@PaladinPiper]

Music, pipes, poetry and kiddos!!!! This was magnificent!!!!

[@shari6063]

Cannot wait to hear these poems/songs when they are released Malcolm! I love when two of my favourite people’s worlds collide! ❤️

[@grailcountry]

It's Shari!

Phil has been one of my favorite musicians of all time, I seen him once live in Oklahoma. I enjoy pipes as well. What a beautiful blending of music and poetry and pipe! Sola Deo Gloria!

[@cherokeegypsy2617]

Such a delightful and special gift, this blending of artistic expression of melody and verse. Thank you both!

[@aljurje]

Seeing you two legends together is such an incredible gift. I only heard about Phil Keaggy via Michael Card 23 years ago. Thank you for posting this!

[@brianharleg4175]

An incredible musician/songwriter and an incredible poet.

[@behindthespotlight7983]

I grew up hanging w/Phil Keaggy every time my dad did one of his shows. His late 70’s-early 80’s albums were primers for a kid to learn good musicianship from gimmicks. The Phil I knew had shoulder length hair & looked like Billy Crudup in Almost Famous 😂🫶🏻

[@zonalmusicgroup9887]

Blessed to have seen, heard, met Sir Phil in the Glass Harps days, in Cincinnati, Cleveland,, other places in Ohio! 1967 first time!

[@MalcolmGuitespell]

Thanks for listening

[@shari6063]

Oh what a treat! I love Phil Keaggy so much!

[@rickslark2316]

What a blessing, Malcolm. "Wardrobe mind' Who's call at sunrise, brings us to our King!"

[@blairmckee9587]

I'm a relative newcomer to Malcolm's world and feel like a kid in a candy shop! Phil, on the other hand, I have a magnificently long history with! I think the greatest thing I can say is that God has used you and continues to use you mightily for his kingdom. I feel so blessed to be a beneficiary of the work of both of you! Can't wait to hear the fruits of this collaboration! Thank you and may the Lord's face continue to shine upon you... Blair

[@MalcolmGuitespell]

Thanks

[@aljurje]

Same here!

[@morgon2]

I’m a lucky fool. My favorite recently followed KZbin personality just intersected with arguably my favorite musician of all time. I love you both. Christ be with you.

[@donmcc6573]

Disappointed to see Phil Keaggy smoking. It's an unhealthy, nasty, smelly habit. Then to bring a child into that smoke filled room was just heartbreaking.

[@artistscafe.podcast]

A delightful combination. Glad to see Phil is doing better after his shoulder injury.

[@roberthawkins6735]

A marvelous conjunction and subsequent blending of arts.

[@jltrem]

4:04-I believe I see in the lower left in a guitar rack, the Hofner 500/1 bass given to Phil by the late Mike Pekar of Pekar's Music in Cuyahoga Falls.

[@joshuaa3075]

This was a wonderful video. I Would love to see “The Horse And His Boy” turned into a movie with Phil Keaggy’s music as the sound track.

[@MalcolmGuitespell]

that would be great

What tobacco are you smoking gentlemen?

Longbottom Leaf, Southfarthing Leaf?

Long bottom leaf ... I suspect 🤓

Peterson’s Deluxe Navy Rolls if I remember

We need a Malcolm Guite gear video - guitars, pedals, amps!

As Always ... Amazing ~~

[@briandoub4866]

Hi Malcolm, I would love to hear some poetry and your thoughts on the Queen’s passing. I’m a dual citizen of the UK and USA, now living in the US. But my heart is in England at this time. I look forward to your next post… lovely video with Phil K.

It’s an Italian one that Phil gave me!

I am curious to the phrase a spell Malcolm...I have only heard spell when a curtain person puts one on one...appreciate the why of using this word please? Thanks a mill...is it a way of describing? I love you way of presentation and poetry...God Bless

[@MalcolmGuitespell]

if you go back to the beginning of this series you'll see I do a whole meditation on the different meanings of the word spell

[@SMccrate01]

Lovely.

[@Postmilstill]

How fun!

[@jasonszion]

Two great men! Been a huge fan of Phil forever!

What's in those Pipes ? Narnia Nuggets ? 😁 Had my share ! Good thing smoking won't send you to hell ! Just make you smell like you've been there ! Peace HapPY Holidays ! CS LEWIS IS SUCH A GREAT WRITER.

[@lucaslageguida3571]

Que lindo

[@caroledrury1411]

That was a beautiful combination and a lovely small video on a great collaboration. Hope there’s a recording someday!

[@jodycollins3688]

Oh my gosh..... our favorite Jesus people musician and my favorite poet. Worlds collide!

[@samiam3297]

I knew it! A Balvenie & The Pipe! No wonder my chords and chops are all flat! Breaking the bank and running to the store ASAP! 🤘😝🎸

[@b80-s9i]

Wow...that really is special and sounds perfect!! So very well done the both of you! 👏👏👏👏👏

[@MrAuell]

I'm new to Malcolm, and happy to discover his art, but I must say Phil has been my favorite guitarist for many years (50).

[@benoloughlin8231]

Perfect harmony

[@slojo3898]

Phil is my all time favorite brother who has healing in his music Uncle buck project 👍

[@varrj3555]

Incredibly moving. Thank you and Phil for sharing your talents and a pipe with us.

[@heathergregg9975]

"Your wardrobe mind....." great line. This is very good. One tiny suggestion for Phil's mix, it would be interesting to hear a tiny bit less reverb on Malcolm's voice, it sounds like a detached, ghostly voice. But most importantly, it's wonderful to see different artists collaborating, blending their contributions.

[@davidknox5929]

Fabulous!!!

[@rockabillly88]

Wow that was awesome, that combination just gratifies the soul. Can we have an album please with keaggy and your poetry. It really sounded fantastic.

[@boldfaith765]

My jaw literally dropped upon seeing this title. Wow!

[@jasonpriest685]

Two of the most inspirational people (in my little world) in the same video? Yes, please! I wish I could give this more than one like!

[@abbeyroad56]

Wonderful to see you and Keaggy having this experience together. The poem at the end was beautiful.

[@catherinegosey1234]

Watching your videos always makes me smile :)

[@bcj842]

Phil Keaggy's one of the finest musicians living right now. So glad you went to chew the fat with him.

[@-You-Tube-]

How neat! Not the update visit I was expecting, but quite fun.

[@Nighttrainpiper]

This was really fun to watch, loved it. Phil is a longtime hero of mine. And you too Malcom.

Was looking for the latest from Phil and got a bonus.

That was simply sublime.

[@lareunoia]

what an amazing time that must have been.

[@stuarteldergill]

Just stumbled across this. Love Phil Keaggy. Great to get a glimpse of home life. I think I drove you to the greenbelt site one year as I was a volunteer driver.

[@MalcolmGuitespell]

Thanks Stuart, and thanks for that ride!

[@Gspitaletti]

Beautiful my god

[@texaslinux]

I think I found an English Burl Ives! I mean that in the highest of compliments.

[@MalcolmGuitespell]

I am honoured

[@slothostpUL]

I first met Phil almost 45 years ago at a church called The Love In, in upstate New York. From that time on, he has been an influence to me as a Christian.

[@MalcolmGuitespell]

he's a great man!

[@steenstry]

What a beautiful sentiment, that a poem is not expressed on a page any more than a song is in the notation... must be breathed into life... I'm so happy that I've stumbled into your little community here on KZbin. I feel like I am in rare company... Pipe smoker, check. Guitar player, check. Old altar boy, check... Are there only 128 of us left to appreciate this?

[@MalcolmGuitespell]

Glad you found us and dropped in
