al soccer player. In a game he
suffered a broken nose and real
izing that broken noses are no aid
to good voice production, he re
signed the sport and devoted him
self to voice study with Gertrude
Wheeler.
Observing his eager preference
for the songs of the people over
the centuries, and a gift he dis
played for the inique art of ballad
and folk singing, Mrs. Wheeler

Svan Scholander. Young Dyer
Bennet managed to make the trip,
solely to meet the old minstrel,
then 75, and listen to his unique
art, and was deeply impressed
with his trinity of poetry, melody
and lute accompaniment, and han
dling each song in a way that be
fitted. Dyer-Bennet’s first reper
toire consisted of 100 songs, Ger
man, Swedish and French that
Scholander had given him.
Back in the United States he
began singing before women’s
clubs, workmen’s meetings and
other groups. The hundred songs
multiplied with the folk song of
the mountains, lumber camps,
Southern plantations and docks.
His initial success came in the
night clubs of New York, after
which Sol Hurok put him on his
artist roster. Dyer-Bennet’s rise
to recognition as a concert artist
was rapid, so that in four years
after his Town Hall debut he had
sung no fewer than seventeen
times there and in Carnegie Hall.
His audience from coast-to-coast
has grown to massive proportions
since that time, and his influence
has caused a great awakening in
terest in our own folk music.
