Art of the Bawdy Song

Through these bawdy catches and ballads we journey to the taverns and other social gathering-places of the real Merry Old England. We may be shocked by the directness of these mostly 300 year old texts (especially those on a scatological theme), but we must remember that in the days before indoor plumbing and pooper-scooper laws, everyday life was of an earthier flavor than it is today. - Mary Anne Ballard Performers: Baltimore Consort, The Merry Companions, The Mary Anne Ballard - treble and bass viols, rebec Mark Cudek - cittern, Baroque guitar, tenor viol, tenor recorder Custer LaRue - soprano Larry Lipkis - viol, soprano recorder Ronn McFarlane - lute Chris Norman - wooden flutes, bagpipe Peter Becker, Baritone Alexander Blachly, Baritone Paul Shipper, Bass, belch-canto James Weaver, Baritone Composers: Various Tracks: (Click here for sample audio) Prelewd 1-2.
