#novelty10

On holiday, aged 8, I selected this on a café jukebox. After barely a minute the owner rushed over and kicked the machine, ending the song. “I hate that song “ she grumbled.
I may have lost my sixpence but I learned the power of music to provoke and annoy.

Mary, Mother of Jesus is often portrayed in blue garments - with the colour associated with purity. However it dates back to Renaissance painters using blue pigment made from Lapis Lazuli - then more expensive than gold - to indicate her high status. Renaissance viewers would have understood this.
