Happy Old New Year!

14/1/2020

In the Russian tradition, following the Julian calendar, January 14 is the start of the new year, just like January 7 is Christmas. The calendar was changed for secular purposes after the Bolsheviks seized power - hence the event is referred to as October, even though it was in November by the modern or Gregorian calendar.

Of course, all this could be seen as an opportunity to celebrate things twice, and no doubt some people use it that way. 

I'll use the chance to get caught up on blogging and present you with a video, widely associated in Russia with a New Year's movie that original aired as a two-part series in the 1970s. Here's a brief clip from when I played at a Jewelry store back in December. 

I also played "Moon River," so appropriate for a jewelry store - think Breakfast at Tiffany's! - but unfortunately I have no video.
