Thanks everybody for your informative replies. I have ordered Duncan Williamson's recording (Veteran VT 128 'Put Another Log on the Fire'). It's still available from veteran.co.uk as a cassette. Roberto's mp3 sadly doesn't seem able to reach me through the magic ether of the internet. Suggestions, anybody?

I don't know any version of Thomas the Rhymer that mentions Nov. 5th.

This is a great group!
