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.
Today I'm sharing some songs that are a little different, either for this show, or just from a phonograph that I normally would not be able to share from. The first is a German song from the old Homokord label. I wrote a little about this label in a previous post, including an attempt at translation by Google. If anyone speaks or reads German I'd be interested in hearing from you about this song. Regardless of not understanding the song nor the title, the song itself it pretty fun:
The next song is named Rosey Posey. Rosey Posey was recorded on the Pathe label before the 1920's. At the time, Pathe had their own format for recording and playing records which used a "hill and dale" recording style with a sapphire ball stylus to play the records. They ceased using this method in favour of the more traditional "needle cut" formats used by Victor and Columbia in 1920. This record was recorded somewhere between 1916-1920. I currently have one machine - a custom Brunswick - that can play these records (and another that is in need of some repair). I do not have many of these Pathe records, but the few I do have sound fantastic.
The final song of the day is the first of two - Force of Destiny, Part 1. This is a Verde song and performed by the Victor Orchestra, the Victor Talking Machine Company's house orchestra. It's close to four minutes - long for a 78rpm record - and also sounds incredible. It is part 1 of 2; part 2 will be shared next week!
Three Tune Tuesday (TTT) is initiated by 
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!
