Thread Name: Child Ballads survived in oral trad.
Subject: RE: Child Ballads survived in oral trad.
Of course many of the ballads (Robin Hood ones for instance) have no evidence of oral tradition:

I only know these three recordings from oral sources:
Robin Hood and Little John (#125) sung by John Strachan, as Robin Hood
The Bold Pedlar and Robin Hood (#132) sung by Wiggy Smith, as Robin Hood and the Pedlar, and by Geordie Robertson, as The Bold Pedlar
