The Vicar of Bray

A satirical parlour song about the inability to maintain religious principles during the late 17th and early 18th centuries. Though often believed to refer to an historical figure, the truth of the matter is truly unknown. Performed by the Broadside Band and sung by John Potter.

@sWeepingsAnd Haha, interesting. Thanks.

@Ludovico1138 It was on 'Freethought Radio', I was just flipping through channels and the song was playing, and after that they went into a talk show type thing.

It was actually Dan Barker cover of the song, who's one of the hosts of the show. Haven't been able to find his version anywhere on the internet.

I don't know anything about the radio show other than that, but it was a lucky pick for hearing the song. :)

@mh605 Thanks! Always happy to share that which I enjoy, and it makes me happy to see others enjoy it too. :)

@sWeepingsAnd Wow, really? Where was it broadcast?

Nicely done. Good pictures to go with the song.
