  1. Afterwards I realized I had this photo, taken 35 years ago in the same room by someone standing in almost exactly the same spot as the person who took my picture Saturday.

    This was a morris dancing workshop with Phil Underwood of Thames Valley Morris (in England) teaching Oddington dances.

    Some of these people I haven't seen in years, some I still see regularly. One besides me was even in the same room on Saturday.

  11. @Meanwhile_on_earth_One Ooh nice. I was with #GoatHillMorris this #MayDay morning #MorrisDancing but didn't take any photos. I'm hoping we see a post later from @berkeleymorris (at least once a year!) but I shouldn't make promises on their behalf. #DeerCreekMorris was also dancing at dawn.

  16. The 2026 Gilbertsville tour is over. Saturday's weather was bad, forcing three stands indoors and one stand canceled. But we had a good time and our audiences did too. Sunday was sunny and warmer and we were out in the street again.

    Here's the Binghamton Morris Men inside the Major's Inn in Gilbertsville, NY.

  21. I bumped into the #GreenMan at the pub on Friday. He was taking a break from his important botanical duties, and was out dancing in the street with the lads of the #EynshamMorris.

    I was able to thank him personally for bringing us such a spectacularly beautiful spring this year.
    🙏🌱
    He looked pleased with his work.

  31. Looking at “Barbie Girl” (BG hereinafter) as the foreman of our morris side wants to write a new dance and it’ll need a tune… and this would fit on our instruments nicely and get the public’s attention.
    By my reckoning BG has four parts. Three of those parts are eight bars each, in line with “standard form”… but the first one is 18 bars (well, 9 bars with different first/second time through endings) and includes the necessary run up for the start of the second part to feel right.
    Because the run up to the B music can’t be jemmied into the end of the C or D music, we can’t just use the A music as an intro then loop the other parts (my first thought).
    Do any of you internet folkies have any bright ideas to tweak BG so the A music is a multiple of 8 bars (and don’t say play it for 9x8 =72 bars, that’s much to much of it!)?
    Sheet music here, (though we’d play it in G) sgp1.digitaloceanspaces.com/sh

    Alternatively, any suggestions for upbeat, attention grabbing, well know pop similar to BG that fits nicely into an octave and a half, is in 8 or 16 bar chunks, and isn’t beset with accidents or key changes?
