I think I first learned of it through some of Jethro Tull's music and reading about the background of some of Ian Anderson's musical roots. I always thought of the Green Man when I heard Tull's Jack in the Green song. Cool. I was going to post a link to that very song! Songs from the Wood is one of my favourite Tull albums. He really captures the folklore feeling of deep forests and isolated communities with all their colourful myths. Listened to it just the other day in fact, and then it's companion piece Heavy Horses which is more about life in the country as it really is, the poverty and growth of the commuter belt. His farm is in the same part of the country as me, the Chiltern hills. A landscape that still carries its iron age past in its hill forts and dykes and ancient track ways. As soon as I finish typing this I'm going to cycle part of The Ridgeway, which is one of the oldest tracks in Europe. Just a few miles to wake me up before work and spend some time among birdsong and sunlight filtering through the beech trees. Will probably stop to meditate at some point and commune with the ancient lords of the forest. I'm sure theyr'e still there. It's a cool vibe out in the woods and it connects you with ages past and far from the madding crowd. But in truth, I think I must-a been a Limey in quite a few past lives, Quite possibly.

I'm impressed at your knowledge of figures from English folklore, or did that cross the atlantic with the settlers to become part of American lore too?
