The late Tayler Vrooman devoted a career spanning more than two decades to the research and performance of songs printed in the 17th and 18th centuries. Best known in association with historic Williamsburg where he gave scores of performances each year, he also appeared at the White House, on hundreds of television programs and in a dozen foreign countries.
Although primarily a look at the light-hearted side of life during the English Colonial Period in America, these songs reflect the questioning of authority, institutions and professions that was so important in the development of American democracy. Doctors, lawyers, politicians and social conventions are exposed to the rapier wit of the age of Jonathan Swift, Alexander Pope and William Hogarth.
