      John Johnson true genius would be to conquer death for everyone either fears it or wishes to avoid or postpone it. They plan everything around it - before it strikes them.
      But then it would not be genius but rather hidden knowledge.
      Being a Genius doesn’t get you anywhere. Thinking ON death CAN.

      I'm not sure what you are trying to say, because all you've written is incoherent babbling. Either stop taking the medicine you're on, or increase the dosage because you clearly need to get better.

    • @gjeacocke
      @gjeacocke 5 лет назад

      John Johnson are you an atheist to say ‘take your meds’ in a negative sense as contrasted with a cancer patient that is required to take meds?
      You may not be bright enough to understand what i said - that is a possibility. The other you can’t handle the truth of my comment.
      Is Beethoven a genius? Do you even define it correctly?

    • @JohnJohnson-ok4gf
      @JohnJohnson-ok4gf 5 лет назад +27

      Not sure how you are connecting medications to atheism, but that just proves you are in need of help. As does your original statement that the only merit for one to be called a genious would be if they were able to live forever.
      Judging by your pathetic videos, you are clearly a jealous piano player wannabe (clearly, that'll never happen for you), with a truly stupid expression and huge manboobs. And you're aging horribly. I know it must be tough to face the fact that you're still a virgin at your ripe age of 43, but you have to let it go. Or just go and fuck a local hooker already, though with the way you look they'll probably ask you to pay a little extra. And don't try to get a discount using the excuse you have Asperger's.
      And yes, I am an atheist, same as all other rational people on the planet. You must be very grateful to your god for having created you with a retardation. It's always like that - the biggest morons on the planet are always the first ones to buy into the religious crap. Do you also believe in Father Christmas and the tooth fairy?
      Don't forget to take your pills tonight. :) You must have some left stashed somewhere in that pathetic dingy basement room of yours.

    • @gjeacocke
      @gjeacocke 5 лет назад

      John Johnson you are so insecure, you have a lot of hate.
      The emperor in star wars would have made a great student of you. Where Luke failed, you succeeded.
      Oh, btw, your response was misguided. I did not ‘try’ to connect medications with atheism.
      Your rejection of my mentioning ‘Jesus’ DID this. Someone who rejects Christ HATES Christ. Anti-Christ.
      If I have manboobs, my FOCUS can remove them. If you know me personally, you know I like exercise.
      I believe I WILL change the approach of pianists and musicians in general.
      I have sight-read 8500 videos. I have the LARGEST repertoire by any musician including Richter or John Ogdon. They were sight-readers.
      You are not a pianist for you would have realised that my position i was sitting at was wrong in my earlier videos and I had not played any exercises. my recent videos shows this. All i need to improve on is tempo.

I think random questions would be more like, Bill, using music, answer the following: When was the last time you ate a grape? What does it feel like to hold a pencil? What are your thoughts on argon? The chosen questions were creative, relevant, and made a lot of sense.

    I, for one, definitely agree about using the harpsichord for 'on hold' music.

    • @CalmCaterpillar
      @CalmCaterpillar 5 лет назад +12

      The best hold music I heard was not a piece of music at all, it was actually an audioplay recorded specifically for the theatre I was calling. So you called them and you would hear: "But professor, the corpse was found in the middle of the empty pool, how could the victim have ended up there?" - "Well, the pool could have been filled at the time he dropped into it." - "But wouldn't he have drowned rather than have died from a crushed skull if that was the case?" - "Maybe, but it could be that the pool was filled with something else instead, for example with honey, in that case he would be..." - "Deutsches Schauspielhaus in Hamburg, what can I do for you today?" - ".......what the hell was that?" - "Oh, you mean the hold recording? That was an audioplay we commissioned. Want me to switch you back to it?" - "No, but... that's a GREAT idea..." - "Yeah, we know. Our records show that people call at 3am just to be able to listen to the rest..."

    The Take on me but composed by Tchaikovsky was my favourite part. I discovered Mr Bailey through Black Books, but i had no idea he was such a gifted musician. I watched and listened more of him and i concluded that he is a wonderful and humble person. What a joy to see and enjoy his humour and his music! The goose story will never grow old for me and nor will hearing him playing a variety of instruments.
