HAROLD FAIR HAIR - CLAN CARRUTHERS CCIS

HAROLD FAIR HAIRED FOUNDS THE KINGDOM OF NORWAY CARRUTHERS ANCESTOR   To the far-off island of Iceland we must go for the story of the early days of Norway. In that frosty isle, not torn by war or rent by tumult, the people, sitting before their winter fires, had much time to think and write, and it is to Iceland we owe the story of the gods of the north and of the Scandinavian kings of heathen…

[bandcampsnoop]

12/29/24.

We first posted about Soda Fountain Rag years ago when they released "Extra Time". I mentioned how "one could really hear the growth" of the band. I'm guessing I meant in comparison to this release, "Reel Around Me". Both were released on another hibernating label (we covered Golly Jane Records on 12/27) - We Were Never Being Boring.

Eight years on from our post of "Extra Time", I'm now partial to "Reel Around Me" and it's unabashed indie pop. The Bandcamp page mentions The Shangri-Las. I think they really sound like a C86 British band from the 1980s - think BMX Bandits, The Pooh Sticks, or Heavenly. Swansea Sound continue to mine a sound similar to Soda Fountain Rag.

But, Soda Fountain Rag were based in Bergen, Norway. They were the vehicle for the music of Ragnhild Hogstad Jordahl.

It’s been a hot minute since I’ve done any viggenposting around here..! Time for a quick intermission from the latest hyperfixation I guess

Redesigned Ragnhild back in Feb so there’s more stuff coming. Just lots of WIPs to piece together as always...

Ray Ragnhild Adams - Allande - Frederiksberg Records reissue of 1997 tape-only release from Sweden, an adventurous one-woman bedroom pop album that would have been at home on Crammed Discs

Ray Ragnhild Adams wrote and recorded Allande, her only solo album, in 1997. It was conceived while she was living and working in Torna Hällestad, a small town in southern Sweden. It was later recorded in a small studio in Malmö and privately released in a tiny run of cassette tapes. On the eleven tracks that make up Allande, Ray combines strong vocals, polyrhythmics, sensitive chord progressions and non-Western scales and rhythms to deliver a personal and relevant musical experience. Among the instruments featured are a Yamaha DX7 synthesizer, a homemade polymer transverse flute and a full- size Paraguayan harp. As she recalls, her earliest musical influences include African rhythm and song and early R&B, music that her mother enjoyed, and Ray absorbed it all. She was drawn to music and found solace in it. It became a platform for her own expression, as she would improvise on piano and rhythm instruments at an early age. Text & musik Ray Ragnhild Adams med röst / synt / harpa / flöjt och rytm

Princess Ingrid Alexandra's Inheritance

In anticipation of Trond Norén Isaksen's new book, Ingrid Alexandras Arv, I thought it would be fun to make a list of all of the Norwegian royal tiaras that will one day belong to Princess Ingrid Alexandra.

The number of working members of the Norwegian Royal Family is pretty small and is in the process of becoming even smaller. Princess Märtha Louise no longer carries out royal duties, Princess Astrid in 91 years old, and it’s unclear how much of an official role, if any, Prince Sverre Magnus will have. This means that most of the jewelry that is currently spread between several people will someday come to Princess Ingrid Alexandra.

The collection starts with Queen Maud, the first queen of a modern, independent Norway and also a British princess. She only had one child so all of her jewelry (after a little detour in the UK) went to her daughter-in-law, Crown Princess Märtha, who was a Swedish princess herself and brought a good amount of jewelry with her. Crown Princess Märtha passed away in 1954 and her three children decided to wait until the then Prince Harald was married in 1968 to divide it all up. When they split the jewelry up it was with the understanding that some of it would stay with Princess Ragnhild and Princess Astrid's descendants and some of it would go back to the mainline when they passed sort of like a lifetime loan.

I really hope that Princess Ingrid Alexandra decides to put the jewelry into a trust or foundation similar to the Swedish and Dutch royal families. Their system worked out well for the three siblings but you can't assume that it will always go this smoothly. Creating a foundation would not only keep the jewelry together for future generations but hopefully facilitate more jewelry sharing.

Princess Ingrid Alexandra

Princess Ingeborg's Pearl Circle Tiara - This tiara was meant to be one of the pieces that stay with Princess Ragnhild's descendants but she asked her children to give it to Princess Ingrid Alexandra for her 18th birthday which was very generous.

The Inheritance

Duchess of Leuchtenberg's Emerald Tiara - now with Queen Sonja

Queen Josephine's Diamond Tiara - now with Queen Sonja

Queen Alexandra's Maltese Cross Tiara - now with Queen Sonja

Queen Alexandra's Turquoise Tiara - now with Princess Astrid

Queen Maud's Diamond Tiara - was with Princess Ragnhild

Queen Maud's Pearl Tiara (replica) - now with Queen Sonja

Queen Maud's Vifte Tiara - now with Crown Princess Mette Marit

Crown Princess Märtha's Vasa Tiara - now with Princess Astrid

Crown Princess Märtha's Emerald & Pearl Bracelet Tiara (replica) - now with Queen Sonja

Queen Sonja's Modern Gold Tiara - now with Queen Sonja

Queen Sonja's Amethyst Necklace Tiara - now with Crown Princess Mette Marit

Crown Princess Mette Marit's Diamond Daisy Tiara - now with Crown Princess Mette Marit

There are also some tiaras that will not be inherited by Princess Ingrid Alexandra. Three of Princess Astrid's tiaras will stay with her children and Princess Märtha Louise's tiara will stay with hers. I have long wondered if Queen Sonja will leave her Modern Gold Tiara to Princess Märtha Louise because the style suits her and I expect her to leave some jewelry to her daughter. Now I'm less sure because Princess Märtha Louise and her daughters will have little need for a second tiara.

There's also the possibility that one of these tiaras will be left to Prince Sverre Magnus but I think it's more likely that they will buy his future wife a tiara that is convertible to other jewelry so that it is more useful for someone who will rarely wear one. She could also borrow tiaras from her sister-in-law whenever needed.

Princess Astrid

Queen Sophia's Diamond Bracelet Tiara - This is the only one I wish would be left to the mainline.

Duchess Pauline of Nassau's Gold Bandeau Tiara

Queen Maud's Aigrette Tiara

Princess Märtha Louise

Princess Märtha Louise's King Olav Gift Tiara

Lost

Queen Maud's Pearl Necklace Tiara

Queen Sophia's Pink Topaz Tiara - stolen in 1995

All of this means that when she is queen, Princess Ingrid Alexandra will have thirteen tiaras to choose from. I didn't expect the number to be that high but the Norwegian royals don't do much jewelry sharing which always makes a collection appear smaller than it is. I hope that in the future they become more flexible about sharing jewels and I also want them to be more open to sharing them with the public. The Norwegian royal family does not generally participate in books, documentaries, or exhibitions about their jewelry but they did share a photo and information about Princess Ingeborg's Pearl Circle Tiara when it was given to Princess Ingrid Alexandra and Princess Astrid has spoken to Isaksen about her jewelry when he wrote her biography so I am hopeful that that is changing.
