Love that title! I am searching for the quintessential collection of drinking songs pre-1940, the earlier the better. Between the english, irish, and aussies I believe I have found the correct group to address this. Fergus, who produced the album you bought and where might I find one? Martin, have you more info on the Academy? Would they be a good resource for researching lyrics and musical instruments? Fergus and Wolfgang, if you know which engine the site uses you should be able to get a run down on best search techniques. What you are dreaming of exists but most sites do not carry it. Mostly libraries use phonetic search engines that forgive spelling without giving you 50 gazillion hits. You are talking BIG money and slow retrieval times which is why these type of search engines are not normally for general use.
