Do you identify with Morris Dancing?

Yes, I love to see Morris dancers, and especially the ones with blackened faces. It's not intended to be any connection to black people, I understand it comes from the black coal soot from mining areas. I make a point of going to see Morris dancers locally as it's part of our tradition and heritage and reminds me very much of things like Mummers plays from medieval times.
