Hello everybody on HIVE, and especially the Music Community. My name is Jasper and I'm writing to you from Cape Town in South Africa!
Welcome to "Three Tune Tuesday", an initiative started by 
For those of you who are not familiar, the Hive Open Mic is a weekly challenge on the Hive Open Mic community for anybody who loves to sing. You don’t even need to play an instrument, a backing track or a cappella is also fine as far as I can tell!
Different artists are given the chance to choose a “Theme of the Week” that the posts should be based on. Often it can be difficult for people to think about easy songs that might fit that theme… so let me see if I can be of any assistance to the people who still might not know what to try by the time Tuesday comes around!

Well, let’s get the most obvious song out there, the beautiful hymn “Amazing Grace”, but let’s shake it up and show this fantastic emotional version by a Dan Vasc, who usually sings metal music. He has a brilliant and powerful voice with great range, and can even play chromonica (a type of complex harmonica) as well!
The next song I want to suggest is “Graceland” – The vibrant, bouncy title track from the album that Paul Simon made when he visited my home country of South Africa in the late 1980’s.

Finally, I want to introduce you to Will Linley, a new young songwriter from my home-town of Cape Town in South Africa. He is blowing up on social media and writes very radio-friendly songs. Here is his new song, dedicated to a wife he has yet to meet, who he calls “Gracie”:
So that's week 131 done and dusted! I hope that gave some people some ideas on how to tackle the Hive Open Mic Challenge this week? Perhaps I’ve even inspired one or two new people to give it a try? Please let me know!
