Blip.

Did ya see that? Yep - a speeding week. As another week disappears in the rearview mirror, we have loads of engagement and tunes flying around on Three Tune Tuesday and sure isn't that bloody fantastic! I hope you're ready to share three tunes from wherever you find yourself on this magical spinning lump of rock that we all call home.

Tuesday is here again, which can only mean one thing, another three tunes from me and hopefully from lots of you good folks too. How are all of you music loving rockers from Inishcrone to the Istanbul doing on this fine evening? Sure, isn't great to be alive all the same.

It's a time of the week when lovers of music, tunes and craic bring their blockchain community three of their finest and brightest tunes to share and celebrate, so lets roll on and let the tunes flow free.

This is my 67th week waxing lyrical for Three Tune Tuesday. It started off with me just sharing tunes into what seemed like a void, but little by little others joined and now I'm thrilled that we have a little corner of Hive where we come and share our tunes every Tuesday, and long may it continue. I almost stopped posting the songs and thoughts a few times, but I stuck with it and now interestingly it is my favorite thing about Hive. I love music and now I have a network of folks around the world who love music too and we share our tunes and catch up with each others tunes and discuss them each week. We get Pop, Metal, Rock, Gospel, Folk, Jazz, Rap, Hip-Hop, Trip-Hop, Reggae, Bippy bappidy Flange Hop. Ok I made that one up, but you get the idea, we are all learning about new artists, bands, back stories and sure isn't it just mighty!

Something that excites me the most is that we even get musicians sharing their covers of famous songs and even their own songs from time to time here on #ThreeTuneTuesday, which is a real favorite of mine, as that takes talent, time and dedication.

We are adding New posters and retaining our core of regulars here on #TTT which is fantastic. Let's keep it growing and that playlist that @blackdaisyft is updating (when she gets time) has ripped past the 600 mark that I mentioned before and at the last count was at an mightily impressive 639 unique tunes and trucking steadily towards 700. Thank you for doing that by the way daisy, when you do find time, as I like throwing on the playlist from time to time reminding myself of all of the sweet tunes that have been shared down through the months - Good on you.

Weekly, I try to find two or three hours to listen to all of the fantastic music shared from like-minded folk from around the globe and interact with their posts. This has lead me to genres I don't know well and to some amazing new bands and artists and has even introduced me to some musical instruments I did not know existed. It also allows me to upvote smaller accounts and fins some really interesting people from all over the world, which is heartening.

I hope you enjoy the tunes - be sure to tell me all about it in the comments below and above all else, please enjoy the rest of your Tuesday - smile at a stranger, rub a dog, be a nice human to someone who was not expecting it - peace out.

For those unfamiliar with TTT or Three Tune Tuesday....

The jist is as follows

Every Tuesday I'm going to share 3 songs which I like to listen to and I invite your feedback in the comments below. Better still, why not have a blast of your own Three Tune Tuesday and mention me in the post and I'll come and find the post and upvote it. If you could also use #threetunetuesday tag that would be great, as that is what I use when sifting through all the entries every Wednesday. It'll be a sweet way for us all to discover new music. You'll also be in with a chance of winning the prize - more on that later.

Here are my week sixty seven recommendations for Three Tune Tuesday

** Drum roll please.....**

The Beatles - Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds

Last week was pretty fun having a theme, which was Route 66, a nod to the 66th week of Three Tune Tuesday, so this week when I started to type the week 67 heading, I thought why not celebrate music released in 1967 as this week's theme, so here we are.

The 26th of May 1967 saw an incredible album released and unbelievably an eight studio album from four young Liverpudlians. I am of course talking about The Beatles album Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band which was an absolute classic album and I will offer up Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds for your listening pleasure.

Although people have sometimes said that this song is influenced by drugs and is a nod to LSD - Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds, Lennon himself said that it was actually inspired by his son Julian who often drew pictures and one such picture that included his classmate Lucy O'Donnell was named Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds by Julian and John was taken back by the name of the drawing and decided to make a song about it.

The Doors - Light My Fire

From May 1967 we jump back to April 1st 1967. No this was not an April Fool's joke, but rather the release of a classic rock tune for the ages.

Jim Morrison, Ray Manzarek, Robby Krieger and John Densmore formed as a band in 1965, closing in on sixty years ago, and after a couple of years together, they released debut album The Doors a double album with this song I am about to share finishing off side 1 of the album.

Jimi Hendrix - Purple Haze

Okay, this one doesn't need much of an introduction. The man was born with a guitar in side arms it would appear.

This one comes on as soon as you hit play on May 1967 classic album Are You Experienced from Jimi Hendrix. Now enough talking and more playing. Take it away Jimi.

ThreeTune Spotify Playlist

Our good friend and regular Three Tune Tuesday poster @blackdaisyft adds the ThreeTuneTuesday songs to an ever increasing Spotify playlist occasionally when time allows. You can check them out here:

Oh thanks for tagging me :)

Now I know why I'm missing the prompts! Time issue...

Yes. I am happy now thanks. Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds is one of my faves and Sgt Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band was one of my favourite (if not THE fave) album as a young 'un. I played the whole thing endlessly and watched the film a gazillion times.

And it's good dammit!

This is kinda my era... so Jim and Jimmy are fine by me too.

The doors - high school forever :)

Jimmy I always found a bit noisy but you gotta appreciate the skills man.

So can I still do a #ttt even though it's no longer Tuesday here anymore? The prompts come through evenings for me and I'm offline by then...

I have serious FOMO now. @ablaze

Ya such an unreal album, flawless really, it's incredible the amount of quality that they churned out in such a short time.
