Sent a man to your 'nasty old' collection today. His wife sings
"Huntingtower" based on "Rtchie Story". His voice and his wife's don't
match well, so they can't do it as a duet as Ewan MacColl and his mother
(Betsy Miller) did it (Folk-Lyric LP FL 116). (MacColl did
"Richie Story" on Riverside later, Washington, LP 716 (and "Lang
a-growing on the followup to the 8 Child ballads record, Riverside
LP 12-629= Washington 723).
Jamie Moreira has just about finished the late Norman Buchan's
edition of the Glenbuchat Ballads MS. (to be published in 4
vols). This seems to the the sole source for the early "Young
Graigston" (Lang a-growing")
