Geraniums dancing for Friday. If you look closely and listen to the flower music you may see some faces in the inner circle.
Not everyone will - just those who believe flowers can not only sing - they can dance as well :)
The Brighouse and Rastrick Brass Band - "The Floral Dance"
of the cornet, clarinet and big trombone,
fiddle, 'cello, big bass drum, bassoon, flute
and euphonium, each one making the most of his chance,
altogether in the Floral Dance.
Dancing here, prancing there
jigging, jogging everywhere.
Up and down, and round the town.
Hurrah for the Cornish Floral Dance.
"The Floral or Furry Dance of Helston, Cornwall, originated as a pre-Christian Spring Festival. Later, the Christians of the district, being the cunning devils that Christians inevitably are and seeing it as a jolly useful community event, adopted it as a pro-Christian festival to celebrate their patron, Saint Michael, annually on the 8th May."
