Its a new Morris Practice Season, so Im making some resolutions - I cant be doing with the usual New Years Eve rubbish about not-eating-all-the-pies (thats what pies are FOR) , but Morris Dancing means an awful lot to me so Im happy to make significant improvements: #1 Im going to read and inwardly digest The Black Book. #2 Im going to learn HOW to read The Black Book then repeat step one. #3 Im going to stop using a strip of Bacon as a bookmark in The Black Book. #4 Im going to use my new Morrising Knowledge to make sure Im on the correct foot ALL the time in ALL dances, and stop confusing my more eagle-eyed fellow dancers by adding third steps into double-steps to correct an errant left foot in the middle of Nutting Girl. Mind you, even Im impressed by that ability and Im a hard task-master. #5 Im going to retrain my feet so that I can learn Sherborne. #6 Im going to learn the entire Kennet Morris Men AND Customs and Exiles repertoires on the melodeon. At the appropriate juncture. In due course. In the fullness of time. #7 Im going (to have) to learn to use both hands when playing the melodeon. #8 Im going to finally make up my mind what Im going to stick on my Cotswold hat. Just in time to change my mind again on 30th April.
