from L&M Companion (c. 1625-1704). Royal musician in ordinary; counter-tenor; viol, violin and lute player; singing-master and composer. Two of his songs are printed in "Musica Britannica" 39/items cxii, cxiii. The 'Theodore' Goodgroome who appears in previous editions seems to be a ghost.
[I love L&M Companion. Terse, but quick with the telling comment; and a great sense of humor.]
GOODGROOME, JOHN (1630?-1704?), composer, lutenist, singer, and teacher; gentleman of the Chapel Royal in three reigns; four airs by him published in Playford's 'Select Airs,' 1669, and three in 'Musical Companion,' 1673. ---Dictionary of National Biography: Index and Epitome. S. Lee, 1906.
