Thread Name: Morris Dancing at Vandalia
Subject: RE: Morris Dancing at Vandalia
Certainly a recent transmission of a revival, not the traditional Morris, to Usa. people who had studied in England in the 50's and 60's got the bug, some English Expats stoked the flames, and look what happened. When I first started in 1971 there was Pinewoods, and maybe a couple of others, whose members came, individually to Ring meetings in England, I met the founder of Pinewoods at the bromley Ring meetind in 1972, and very knowleadgable he was. Just imagine if the yanks got hold of Cricket or Rugby!
