Subject: Any morris dancers? (just out of curiosity) From: AllisonA(Animaterra) Date: 13 Feb 99 - 09:37 AM I got into morris dancing because I was new in town and found that the morris dancers were also doing the most folk singing, so joined the Harrisville women's morris team.

And naturally I didn't save the text I had just written! In brief- any other bell-wearing, hankie-waving, stick-wielding types in Mudcat land? Allison |

Subject: RE: Any morris dancers? (just out of curiosity) From: BK Date: 14 Feb 99 - 01:52 AM You morris-catters really ought to listen to the patter on Stan Rogers "last" album, "Back Home in Halifax" where they dedicate "The Idiot" to morris Dancer - and describe their behavior & rituals. Its a hoot!!! Cheers, BK |

Subject: RE: Any morris dancers? (just out of curiosity) From: Barbara Date: 14 Feb 99 - 02:13 AM BK, I haven't heard that bit of patter, but I've heard that Morris dancers recognized in the tune one of their own, and occasionally show up at Stan's concerts to dance down the aisle when he performed that song. I also gathered he was not entirely thrilled by this. I did a bit of it when I was younger, but what I did to my knee while cross country skiing took me out of circulation. Blessings, Barbara |

Subject: RE: Any morris dancers? (just out of curiosity) From: sail Date: 14 Feb 99 - 07:45 PM I had the opportunity to learn morris dancing five or six years ago in Sarasota, Fl. We were a very small group of scottish dancers, one recently from California who offered to teach those of us interested. Mostly there is contra dancing here--Sarasota, Tampa, and other parts of the state, but I really enjoyed the morris. We used ladder rungs! |

Subject: RE: Any morris dancers? (just out of curiosity) From: songbird Date: 15 Feb 99 - 03:22 AM Not a dancer although I always wanted to be. I am a Morris musician though, surprised that there are not more from the UK so far. Have a look at the embryonic web sites. The amount on info available on the web is increasing, which is more than can be said for the number of dancers!!!!! http://freespace.virgin.net/michael.bird/magog/magog.htm http://freespace.virgin.net/michael.bird/hijinx/hijinx.htm http://freespace.virgin.net/michael.bird/thakeham/thakeham.htm |
