"I was drawn to the call of the Rag and Bone man, and I thought of the man himself, beyond the call - and imagined my own best beloved Great Grandmother and the stories she told me of getting a Donkey Stone from the Rag and Bone man, and scrubbing her step clean.
"It must have been important to her, because she told me about it as though it were a ritual. So I wrote her song, as she might sing to him.
Maybe she called him Donkey Stone.
"Maybe she dreamed of running away and living a life on the road, returning to the ways of her ancestors before her, who were travellers.
"So this song is for Catherine Lightfoot - or Granny Dean as she was to me."
