Thread Name: Morris Dance Tunes in The US
Subject: Morris Dance Tunes in The US
As far as I can tell the people who emigrated from England to the US from the 16C to the end of the 19C did not take the Morris with them.
They took songs, tunes and dances but not the Morris.
Is that correct?
The interesting question is: did they take any Morris dance tunes - or tunes most closely associated with the Morris?
Cheers
