Three Tune Tuesday -

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 know, I post Three Tune Tuesday on Wednesday. It's done by design! I run a Three Tune Tuesday livestream on Tuesday, then post the songs the next day. Want to be the first to hear them? Tune in live!

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.

All for the Love of a Girl is a classic folk song that has been covered by a variety of artists over the years. One of the most notable versions was recorded by The Peerless Quartette, a popular vocal group in the early 20th century.

The Peerless Quartette was formed in 1904 and consisted of four members: Henry Burr, Albert Campbell, Arthur Collins, and John H. Meyer. The group was known for their close harmonies and recorded many popular songs of the era. “All for the Love of a Girl” was one of their most successful recordings.

Hearts and Flowers-Intermezzo was composed by Theodore Moses Tobani in 1899 and quickly became a popular favorite. It was so well-loved that it became a standard piece for brass bands, orchestras, and even military bands.

The Victor Concert Orchestra, an American orchestra that was active in the early 20th century, was among the first groups to record the song. The orchestra, which was founded in 1906, was one of the most successful orchestras of its time, and they recorded many popular songs and pieces of music during their tenure. A lot of their success stems from being the Victor Talking Machine Company's "house band" which recorded songs at a low expense to the company.

Finally, Egyptland is from one of my favourite groups of the era, Six Brown Brothers.

The Six Brown Brothers were one of the most popular saxophone ensembles of the early 20th century, known for their virtuosic playing and showmanship. “Egyptland” was one of their most popular recordings, and it remains a favorite of jazz enthusiasts today.

The song is notable for its use of a Middle Eastern melody combined with some more traditional jazz and ragtime tunes that were popular at the time. The melody is played on the saxophones (all the Brown brothers played saxophone) and has a truly fun beat to it.

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!
