pallas_athenaIt's May Eve, and I should have found somewhere pleasantly flowery to celebrate today, but I have a disgusting cold. Such is the way of the world.
But a few viruses can't stand in the way of the Mayday partayyy, so here is something seasonal to get you in the festive spirit from my own hometown of Washington DC. I give you... The Foggy Bottom Morris Men! [contains much leaping]
...Annnd their deadly rivals the FUNKYTOWN MORRIS MEN. [The leaping, it burrrnnnns]
The Foggy Bottom crew performing their rather eerie take on the Abbots Bromley Horn Dance at the Winter Solstice [less leaping, more horns]:
Meanwhile, if you yearn for some authentically British May Day entertainment, here's some vintage footage of the Watersons singing "Hal an Tow." [no leaping whatsoever] If, on the other hand, you wish for something more American... well... there's always tractor square dancing. [some leaping; tractors]
