Morris dancing? Oh sure! Everyone knows about Morris dancing, don't they?
Actually, after come preparatory googling, I am now ready to add my own documentary addition to this notable tradition.
Supposedly each move has a meaning... Yeah right.
Kind of a regional dialect thing I guess.
But, in fact, the level of enthusiasm was pretty inspiring - I went for a run.

All photos are taken at the May Day celebration, on May 1, 2004 in Oxford, England, using a Canon digital rebel.

Laughing Morris

A common ploy among concertina players.

"Oh? These old rags???"

The dance is the thing.

All accordion to plan

(Note the beer glass.)

I hope to be here next time with...

Oxford
Stanford in Oxford
