Subject: RE: Folklore: When did morris dancing become a joke?
Morriss in all its forms suffers from a lack of understandinf tied in with all the things that have been said. The old adage of don't knock it till you have tried also rings true,
A work collegue who ran with the pack and joked with me for being a folkie was forced by his partner to go to a school ceildh he enjoyed it that much that at their wedding they are having a ceildh band he looks for dances to go to and asks me about the big bands, he fancys a go at morris so there is hope and probably no good reason why people knock it other than socially the worlds changed
