Rolling of the Stones is, of course, one of most fascinating bits of fragmentation of a big ballad, Two Brothers [Child #49] - sometimes down to only 3 or 4 quatrains, so that the story turns into a sort of mystic incantation like Heather Woods' exquisite version on Young Traditions 'Galleries' all those years ago. I have a particular, purely mnemonic. affection for it myself coz it just happened to be the first song I ever sang on tv, in a documentary about a Poets' Picnic that Valerie & I were performing in in Somerset.
