Hi Mick,

BLOW YE WINDS IN THE MORNING is in the DT here. If you enclose the title in square brackets [] as a search string the search engine looks for that phrase but because its looking for an exact match it can be a bit dodgy; for example it wouldn't find "Blow ye winds of the morning". I find the best option is to search on something fairly specific to the song, but which is unlikely to be misheard or misspelt.

Given the poor quality of the recording, could the other song be "the Old Baleena?

The chorus goes:

Here's a health to the old Baleena, she needs no trial run,
And we challenge all both great and small from Dundee to St. Johns."?

If so I'll try and it dig out.
