- A performance from 1962. Dyer-Bennet's CDs are available via Amazon and Smithsonian-Folkways. A biography, Richard Dyer-Bennet: The Last Minstrel, is available from Amazon and the University Press of Mississippi.
Yes. This sounds like an authentic way of singing it as it was originally written. Bravo.
@vpo2g2 Glad you like it. Five more songs of his are now mounted. I'm the author of Dyer-Bennet''s biography (Richard Dyer-Bennet: THe Last Minsrel), available via amazon.com or a library. Sorry for the self-promotion.
Cheers, Paul Jenkins

A great artist.
I have a notion to second that emotion !! :-)
Mr Dyer-Bennet's historical data are questionable. Paterson was not an itinerant musician walking the goldfields but a journalist working in Melbourne who composed verse on the side. These lyrics, however, were written on a visit, in the company of his fiancee, to the small town of Winton in Queensland, to a tune that was being whistled persistently by a young lady who was also on a visit to Winton and teamed up with Paterson &c..
The lyrics were subsequently put into print by Paterson but the original tune is lost. It is thought likely by some that the original tune was in fact in the style of a marching song - the sort of thing the Salvation Army is fond of. At least two other tunes composed subsequently are familiar to Australians. To one of these Mr Dyer-Bennet's version approximates.
I first heard RD-Bs voice narrating “The University Abandoned Overnight” a short film about how empty the campus of The State University of New York at StonyBrook, now known as StonyBrook University (SUSB or SUNY StonyBrook) where he taught for a few years.
@ReunitedSomeday Glad you enjoyed it!
This guy could play the guitar well.
