I was speaking recently to some of the people involved in the Carpenter project, and it seems there is the prospect that his material will see the light of day in the forseeable future.

I'm not at home at the moment, but I do have at home a printout from the microfilm in Cecil Sharp House of the Bell Duncan set. If you can't find it anywhere else, Bob, PM me in about a week's time and I'll see what I can do.

The remarkable thing about Bell Duncan's version is, not only that she altered the melody at the point the story moves from intro to actual shape-shifting, but that Carpenter appears to have collected it from her more than once, and on the second occassion both tunes were different. But I'd like to have that corroborated by the Carpenter experts before you take it as gospel.
