Humorous and poignant music from the 16th, 17th, 18th, 19th and early 20th centuries, long out of print. They express the public sentiments of the people of these eras as no history book possibly can. Transcribed in modern notation, and transposed to keys easy to play on modern "folk" instruments. If you are a reenactor, or just want some funny songs to sing, these are for you!
