Joe, I have just downloaded the Donkeyworks search engine. It seems pretty good to me.

As a complete sidetrack, one of the songs I seached for was Napoleon Bonaparte. I noticed that it mentions Tommy Flynn. I don't know what happened to Tommy Flynn but I believe he used to sing in a pub called the Ship Launch in Bangor, North Wales in the late 60s.

We have a 3 day session in Bangor twice a year and this song is often sung at the end and some people stand up on chairs while singing it and drink a toast to Tommy Flynn at the end. The only thing is, the version given is a bit different to what they sing now. I can't remember all of it but it now has a line something like "And now I'm on a desert isle where the rats the devils do me afright"
