Hey Joybell was looking at member photos and seen it was your birthday and thought i'd say. "HAPPY BIRTHDAY". "And many more".

Just imagine: Ned Flanders getting hit on the head with a bowling ball, while Homer was trying to get a frisbee off the roof of Ned's house.

A birthday song for you that I learned a long time ago:

Today, today, today, today
Today, today is your birthday!
It isn't the elephant's or the bear's.
It isn't the pickle's or the pear's...
Today, today, today, today
Today, today is your birthday!

Many happy returns, Joy

Thank you Inky! Maybe he'll make little cats one, two, three, four, five and you can do a verse about Bootsie and Inky, Dave's Wife.
So many wonderful friends. I'm so lucky. Cheers, Joy

Thanks again everyone. We start rehearsals next week, Brian. Lost our Little John at the last minute so I'm working on a replacement. Someone will turn up. Come on over here and the part's yours. Cheers, Joy

Losing someone as big as Little John is extremely careless!

From: Joybell

It was wasn't it! I'm waiting for an answer from Oberon. He's even bigger. Over 6 feet. Never lose him. Saw him as King of the Faeries and he's a wonderful fiddler - good for lurking, as Faeries do, and playing accompaniments all the way through. He'd be a natural as Little John though. Light on his feet and would be good for the Morris dance bit. I could play down Oberon's part it's his wife Titania who is more important to the plot.

Hello Lucy.
Cheers, Joy

Lots of love, dear Joy- even if it's tomorrow where you are, it's still your birth-week and you should keep on celebrating!

A place called Hathersage in Derbyshire has what is said to be Little John's grave in the church-yard. Apparently some excavations in the 1800's produced a thigh bone. the measurement of which varies between 2ft 5inches and and 2ft 8inches dependant on who's account you believe.
That would make him between 7 and 8 feet tall! Tell Oberon to get growing.

Thank you Animaterra. Lots of love back.
Brian. Oberon might work better as Little John if the rest of us go around on our knees maybe. Of course as is usual for me I'm concentrating on the legends and the folklore surrounding the characters, rather than facts. A lot is suggested with mime and low-tech trickery. At one point Will Scarlet is narrating the story of the meeting of Little John and Robin. He (she actually) says,

Will Scarlett: It was a very tall man.
Little John: I am a very tall man. (Stands on tip-toe. Looks tall.)

Things like that. What fun. I'm so lucky to have friends willing to do this. Cheers, Joy

Folk club we had locally some years ago used to do the local Mumming Play every Christmas, (St George & the Turkish Knight).
Our St George would have made a great Little John (the phrase ....brick privy.... springs to mind), Best laugh of the evening always came from the intro line which our Father Christmas gave himself (In comes I, Old Fart(h)er Chris-me-aas) Can't think why!
Ah Happy Days!

Hooray! Oberon agreed to switch to playing Little John. Should be able to find another Oberon. It's a small part.
I'd love to see a Mumming Play. My cornish ancestors left them behind when they came here in 1847. Pantomimes, being modern at the time of the goldrush, crossed the ocean and were popular here but not the ritual plays. We have Morris Dancers at the folk festivals and Maypole dancing at a Cornish festival nearby, but the tradition has been broken. It must be so different to live somewhere where your roots go deep.
Cheers, Joy
