It looks like our long awaited push of bitcoin past that one hundred thousand dollar mark is going to take it's sweet time to arrive. It's alright by me, because it gives me a chance to pick up a few more sats at slightly lower prices, and hopefully the push really comes! On Hive we had a nice surge to almost thirty-one cents and then someone sold off a giant chunk crashing the price all the way down to twenty-six cents. I'm not sure who was taking profits, but that was a painful drop. It's struggling back up slowly past twenty-nine cents, I'm routing it on back upward!

Being Tuesday I'll be creating another Three Tune Tuesday. First off thanks to @ablaze for starting and continuing to sponsor this weekly event. I've been participating for more than a year, and it's a lot of fun. If you don't already take part feel free to join us by creating a post of your own sharing some tunes that you enjoy. Each week one random participant will win some HSBI units, and those are the gift that keep on giving!

My picks today are a bit of a departure from my usual style here on #TTT . But I don't want to type cast into rock n roll only! One thing that I love about living in the Caribbean was all the different styles of music you could enjoy. I always found calypso a lot of fun with the steel drums, but as a general rule I don't listen to it very often. Today I pulled out an old play list and put it on, and today's selections were some of the first to play!

First off we'll go with a California one hit wonder!

Burning Sensations

bigidea.fandom.com

This was a very short lived California band from the early 1980's that featured former "The Motels" singer Tim McGovern. They were a true one hit wonder on MTV with their calypso/rock fusion song "Belly of the Whale". The song referring to biblical prophet Jonah who refused to preach fearing he might be killed. So he boarded a ship to sail away, but a storm began destroying the ship. Jonah confessed it was because of him and was thrown overboard and the storm stopped. Consequently Jonah was swallowed by a whale and lived there for three days before being spat out. I do recall a couple things from Sunday School after all... Anyway, this is a cool song, "Belly of the Whale":

Robert Palmer

Robert Palmer was a singer/ songwriter from Yorkshire, England, born in 1949. He launched his career in the mid 1960's eventually picking up some following as a solo artist in the late 1970's. In the early 1980's his career continued to do well with some hit songs and some commercial success. However, in 1985 he joined forced with Duran Duran members Andy and John Taylor, and drummer Tony Thompson forming the super group "The Power Station" which shot his career to new heights. "Addicted to Love" came not long after making him a solo superstar.

Sadly he was a heavy smoker since his teen years and suffered a fatal heart attack in Paris in 2003 at the age of 54. This song I'm sharing was from 1983 called "Pride", it was heavily influenced by the time he spent living in the Bahamas. It has pure calypso sound!

The Clash

Even The Clash produced a calypso song on their album "Sandinista" in 1980. While it wasn't the best song on the album or the best they ever produced, it's always fun to hear bands explore new music styles. Last week I shared some ska they produced with "Rudie Can't Fail", and this week it will be "Let's Go Crazy":

And a bonus tune, you can't talk about calypso without this legend!

Harry Belafonte

Born in 1927 in New York City to parents of mixed Jamaican ancestry, Belafonte popularized calypso music internationally in the 1950's. An interesting factoid was his album "Calypso" from 1956 was the first LP to ever sell more than one million copies by a single artist. Throughout the 50's and 60's he made the genre a world wide phenomenon, he's even referred to as the king of calypso. He only passed away this past year at 96 years of age but was still working pretty much until the end. Talk about a long and productive life!

Almost everyone will recognize at least of few of his songs including the "Banana Boat" song and this one "Jump in the Line (Shake, Senora):

That will wrap up this Tuesdays edition of #threetunetuesday . I hope you enjoyed the Caribbean inspired calypso music, it's always fun to share something new and different.
