GUEST,Les in Chorlton, Manchester	Ritual dance tunes (14)	RE: Ritual dance tunes	24 Aug 03
Wow, mumming in the Caribean? What's that then? Unlike soldiers in the first world war who were recruited in one town to one regiment, sent away together and sometimes died together, I guess teams of morris dancers or mummers weren't sent to Van Diemans Land or migrated together to The Appalachians. So Morris and mumming have not been found in such places. But, if the origins of tradition of ceremonial dance are as deep as some would like us to believe, perhaps a few tunes might have made those long jouneys, because the songs did. How far did the Poor Old Horse get?
