Since nobody else has posted the sad news of Stanley's death, I offer a 
link to the obituary in today's Scotsman:

I was fortunate enough to hear Stanley twice.  His singing was grand; 
but his story-telling held me gripped to an extent where I could hardly 
breathe.  I sat there, unable to move, feeling like a three-year-old 
with eyes as big as saucers and disbelief totally suspended.  That was, 
for me, the true magic of the man.

It's been a bad week for folkies. In the US, Sandy Paton and Sandy Ives, 
and word is that Mike Seeger is extremely ill.
