This was my personal 15th year doing May Day at Baylands, and your video is by far the best memento I have.

Ric has kindly sent me a whoppin' big list of edits which shall be done this week, then I'll repost it here, and the video will also be available at Ric's site as well. Thank YOU otoh, for the continuing great good time. All the sides were amazing, as usual and made this day, which happens to be our anniversary into the bargain! I only wish I had the equipment to do video justice to Abbotts Bromley, but it's always too dark and lighting it would be the height of gauche... Spring Blessings, Maryam Hey there Dick,

I'd heard of Morris dancing, but never seen it. How much fun! How long have you been holding tbe annual event in Palo Alto? I used to live there, but many eons ago -- to think I missed it! Some of the precise weaving and twisting of the dancers around each other reminds me of the intricate Celtic patterns with their vinelike cris-crossing, often seen in the margins of "illuminated" books. They fascinated me as a kid and I remember spending many hours penciling out my own designs inspired by the Celtic ones. This was not exactly how I intended to spend my evening, but thanks for the diversion! Lucy in St. Thomas (far, far away from P.A.) Great call by the way!

I actually danced with our local Morris Dancers for about a year, before my time schedule changed and made it impossible to continue ... I have never participated in the May Day Dance. After watching your video, and having quit the "job from hell", I believe I will contact my friend and tell her I am ready to resume. Thank you SO much for this!! (BTW, I am in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada) Wow!

Glad to see the vid sparked some cool reminiscence and renewed enthusiasm Paulette. I've been travelling this month but am working on the edits Ric Goldman suggested and hope to have those up before too very long. Working on my book takes precedent though so I'll just say they'll be here when they get here. ;-) Happy last-o-May! Sumer is a cumen in, Llude sing cucu... Sing Cucu!
