Three Tune Tuesday - December 13 - 78 RPM Christmas Delight

It's time again for Three Tune Tuesday, that day of the week where members of the Hive community shares three songs of their liking with the rest of the community.

I take a slow, relaxing approach to Three Tune Tuesday: I like to share pre-1924 78rpm songs from my collection, and record them while playing on an appropriate time-period windup phonograph. I encourage you to take a few moments and slow down with me. Settle down, close your eyes, and take yourself back.. way back.. in time, to a distant uncle's parlour in the early 1920's. There are comfortable seats, pleasant conversation, and old music.

Throughout the month of December I have been sharing Christmas songs from days of old. Today and next week are the final two Tuesdays before Christmas! And I have a lot of music to share.

Hark! The Herald Angels Sing

I've mentioned in both my live streams that this song is one of my more favourite Christmas songs. This song featured in the only Christmas play that I ever remember being involved with in grade school, though I suspect that the song was the finale to A Charlie Brown Christmas may have just as much to do with my fascination with it.

This version was recorded by the Metropolitan Quartet in 1914 on the Edison label and played on my Edison London Upright.

Twinkling Star

A couple weeks ago I shared Parade of the Wooden Soldiers by the International Novelty Orchestra. Twinkling Star is the flip side to that song.

Christmas Fantasie

Every era of music has it's stars. The 1910's and 1920's were no different. Arthur Pryor was a trombonist, bandleader, and soloist with Sousa's Band. His own band - Arthur Pryor's Band - is one of my favourite from the time period. He was very prolific on the Victor label.

Three Tune Tuesday (TTT) is initiated by @ablaze.

I run a live stream of my TTT songs every Tuesday at 12:00pm EDT, then take that stream and share the songs from it here, on Hive, on Wednesday (or occasionally Thursday). These songs are all old pre-1923 78rpm records from my collection, played on my antique phonographs and recorded with a well placed microphone. Like what you hear? Come listen live!
