Ooh, nice. So...if I'm following.. Bob Walser brings "Ilo Man" (William Fender's) to light with his work with the Carpenter Collection. Then (?) Bob Webb using it as a source for his 2000 recording is interesting.   Calennig also used it as a source.

The Harry Browns of Bristol recorded "Ilo Man" in the mid-late 90s (?). Kasin and Adrianowicz were inspired by that for their 2002 recording.

Again, the possibility that an older song was pretty much revived just in the last dozen years-- but this time with an aural source.

It will be interesting to see, as more people are exposed to the recordings in the Carpenter Collection, if and how the trajectories of some of these songs are influenced.
