Musically Speaking, the theme might be, "Merrily We Roll Along," but William Kelliher and John John of Cambridge are not concerned with lilting lyrics. They are teaming up on the spring task at Longfellow House, Cambridge, of flattening winter's bumps on the lawns. Rolling presses frost-heaved grass back into the soil and prepares the lawn for mowings to come.
