Alexander Borodin was there way, way before you matey !!!

 

I am sure flower crowns were the first crowns ever man made …besides a baby being born and crowning at the time of birth

 

The debate on which nation came first or is the oldest is always debatable …

which is so funny since youth.. the fountain of youth is always sought…. since it does exist

While at the same time so does age and who is the oldest and most ancient of ways n days

 

I watched flipper on tv while it aired

 

Flowers in the hair were used in the faith way before the Russian (Born: 12 November 1833, Saint Petersburg, Russia) Comrade
As Wyldwynd says Crowns of Flowers were used hundreds of years before that,
As for the video, whilst the melody is indeed from the Russian composer - the girls shown in the video do not look like they were from that era

 

Spring is now in the air - and a time for renewal and rebirth.
Days and nights are equal length and the year is heading into warmth, fertility and light.
Eggs are the symbol of fertility and also representative of the great cosmic egg from which the Earth and Universe were hatched
4 days before the date(/night/morning) change of time - but as every good historical observer knows - times are not specific and fluidic to align with the climate - which are continuing to mess about with

 

They are not, but the music most certainly is, and wearing flowers in the hair is a Russian tradition that pre-dates both the USSR and Alexander Borodin by at least a millenium.

Kanzashi - Wikipedia

 

What a poignant post. X

 

Hawaiians wear flowers too I think everyone wears flowers ...why not flowers are everything

yes spring so refreshing

 

Hawaiins I think tend to wear flowers as garlands round their necks as Leis

 

a flower noose or a flower leash ...my favorite lmao I jest I jest

yes they wear flowers everywhere aloha

 

I really love the kanzashi which I actually use chop sticks in my hair to hold up a bun I can also use a spoon but I do like the sticks so much more ..

 

I’m loose from the noose that’s kept me hanging around ...delicate flowers

Looking forward to singing and dancing this year

wasn’t it like the warp zone when during “The pandemic” when I heard an announcement no singing or dancing and the holiday is cancelled boo hoo no fun <<<<<>>>>>> I had to keep pinching myself

ahhh

 

Well that is my favorite thread the one wolf angel started with the music

 

I will have the blast it though my speakers while driving through town ..that way I am sharing with everyone

this year my daughter and I did some car caroling where we drove around and sang at the top of our lungs laughing and singing and if we did see anyone on the road we were singing directly to them ...everyone seemed to love it

 

I no longer have a singing voice, not that I really had one in the first place, but Opera is my passion !!!

 

I will serenade you with my opera voice *as I shatter glass*

I have a 50 percent chance of hitting a note so says my dna which at one time I recorded songs I wrote...for others to sing with a double track machine that really worked well in the late 80-early90’s that still does not speak to as if I can actually sing ....that is though I do sing I am not considered a great singer i am a least singer ...sounding like I need to be sent for lessons ..

 

This morning I was listening to Tina turner you better be good to me ...and I love the line

I don’t have no use for what you loosely call the truth
(Which reminded me of getting loose from the noose)

yes since I know freedom-

I still like to hear chains rattle though
