Drum roll please.....
Leonard Cohen - Bird on The Wire
Like all of you folks, I am sure some week's you have some divine inspiration on a given Tuesday or maybe at some time during the week an artist, a band, a musician of great renown pops into your head and so you are all set for your Three Tune Tuesday post.
That did not happen for me this week and Tuesday arrived without a seed for songs or an artist, so I pulled out the trusty book of great albums covering 1955 to 2007.
What to do?
Well it's week 186, so why not leaf to page 186 and see what awaits and that's exactly what I did my friends and who should smile out it me, but Leonard Cohen.
That will do.
That will do nicely.
Here is the first song from his 1969 album Songs From a Room
Leonard Cohen - a bunch of lonesome heroes
My Only dilemma now was to decide what songs to choose and more pertinently which to leave out?
Flip a coin?
Nah..
Time for Spotify and include as I go, so no surprises that 3 of the 4 first songs have made it in.
Leonard Cohen - The Partisan
We will finish out with one of my favourites from this album.
I hope that you enjoy it too.
Leonard Cohen may not be for everyone.
Some I suppose are tone deaf..
Ha ha, just kidding, different strokes for different folks as the fella says.
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 186th 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. Over the years, I have listened to fantastic music shared from like-minded folk from around the globe and interacted 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....

Well cool, had one of his tunes on my ttt last week!
But yeah people need to listen to some of his stuff for sure.
Good man, great minds...
This is great. I love Cohen <3
Ya he's one of the greats 👍
Oh I do like Leonard, always preferred him to Dylan. I would have a hard time choosing as well. Suzanne would have been there though. Hope you are well @ablaze and happy holidays xxx
Ya Suzanne is a great song, but wasn't an option for me, as I was only choosing from the Album Songs From a Wire
I was just listening to some Cohen myself this morning. Suzanne is a really good song. There was a special on TV the other day my wife and I were watching that was covering the history of the song Hallelujah. It was really interesting.
Nice one @bozz
Ya Suzanne is amongst his best work.
I do really enjoy those music documentaries. You always learn a few bits that you didn't know before.
Hallelujah is a funny one for me, as it's one of the only songs that I like where there is a cover version that I like more. Jeff Buckley's version is the one that stands head and shoulders above all including the original by Cohen.
