Here are my week one hundred and forty two recommendations for Three Tune Tuesday

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

Thomas Chambers - Build a Boat

First of all, this week's pick is close to home, as Thomas Chambers is a good friend of mine from my hometown of Galway on the west coast of Ireland. His older brother is one of my best friends and was Best Man at my wedding. Thomas is his younger brother, and a sounder, friendlier funkier soul you'll not meet. He's what we call the salt of the earth and his altruistic and friendly nature glows through him and although I don't see him often, I always enjoy it when I do.

From an early age Thomas had the Midas touch. He excelled at every sport he tried his hand at, I guess having two older Sports loving brothers and a GAA-mad Dad helped there. Music though was always his first love and he's been a fantastic, flamboyant and free flowing musician now for about two decades.

Recently Thomas made a life long dream a reality when he released his debut LP and I'll share two songs from that as my second and third tunes this week. I'm going to start off with his most recent song though Build A Boat which is rich with metaphors and wonderful insights into the human condition. I must say, I really like this song and I think you guys will too.

I'd love to help this song reach its first 1,000 views on YouTube as fast as possible, as I really think it deserves it.

How can we accomplish this? Well that's we where you come in! Currently Build a Boat has 51 views now, so if I can get twenty friends here to share it with 10 friends on their socials like WhatsApp and Twitter (X) and half of them share it with 10 more friends then we'd be well on the way.

So do me a favour. Have a listen and if you like what you hear, subscribe on YouTube and share the tune with a few friends.

I'll pick twenty people on here who are pure sound that I think are most likely to answer my call.

Thanks guys.

Thomas Chambers - Open Eyes

Open Eyes is the second song I'll share with ye and it comes from Thomas's debut LP No Place to Hide and as you'll soon hear for yourselves, it is a real ear worm and a song you'll be humming along to by the second listen. We are blessed with an abundance of talented singer song writers here in Ireland and I feel Thomas has the potential to grow I hope my post today will open up more worldwide ears to his tunes. If you are kind enough to listen and comment, you might let Thomas know what country you are listening in as I intend sharing a link with him.

I can really hear the Preston Reed influence flowing through this song and if your not familiar with his work, I'd highly recommend you check him out. He fuses Jazz, Blues and Funk with a mesmerising and unique finger picking style that Thomas introduced me to many years ago.

Thomas Chambers - Window

This one is my favourite track from the LP. For me Window really captures Thomas's unique voice and musicality. I believe Thomas is destined for great things and just needs that slice of luck when the right person at the right time hears his music.

So again, I'd encourage you guys and girls to share his tunes in your musical circles and who knows where it might lead to for Thomas.

Three Tune Tuesday

That's right, it's Tuesday folks and for our merry little band of ladies and lads, that means sharing tunes, good vibes and engagement. 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 and sure you might even sing us a tune if we're lucky?

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 let's roll on and let the tunes flow free.

This is my 142nd week waxing lyrical for Three Tune Tuesday and we are still going strong.

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. Weekly, I try to find four to six 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 led 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 find 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.

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.
