Paul O. Jenkins tells, for the first time, the story of Dyer-Bennet, often referred to as the ""Twentieth-Century Minstrel."" Dyer-Bennet's approach to singing sounded almost foreign to many American listeners. The folk artist followed a musical tradition in danger of dying out. The Swede Sven Scholander was the last European proponent of minstrelsy and served as Dyer-Bennet's inspiration after the young singer traveled to Stockholm to meet him one year before Scholander'American made music series.Folk singersUnited StatesBiographyFolk singers782.42162/0092BJenkins Paul O91497MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910789745203321Richard Dyer-Bennet3722957UNINA
