Subject: Ewan MacColl/Lang A' Growing
I'm trying to trace recordings of Ewan MacColl singing Lang A-Growing; specifcally, the version he got from his mother, which starts "The trees they are ivied, the leaves they are green".
To date I've found nothing subsequent to a 1956 recording he made for Riverside in New York. Nothing in Topic, or Folkways, or The Long Harvest, or any of the other Argo LPs I've got.
