Subject: RE: Review: New book - Singing from the Floor
Actually, I hadn't heard them sing it before. I thought their performance, given with full acknowledgment to the N English source, rather charming; & of course enhanced by the appropriateness of the "One for Peter, two for Paul" [Wot! None for poor Mary?]. Where did they learn it? When did they first record it? Before of after the Watersons? Might they have got it from Broadwood & Fuller Maitland? Or even from Frost&Fire?
