My wife and I were thrilled to see Dyer-Bennet at NYC's Carnegie Hall (I think)in the mid 1950's. He was so elegant in his white tie and tails and he sang so clearly; he could make the hair on the back of your neck bristle when he sang "The Rising of the Moon". My singing of his "Bonnets of Bonnie Dundee" got me through 2 days painful post-op forced march in a Toronto hospital.
No one could produce a lump in your throat like RDB. I still play my worn Remington and Folkways recordings. Love him.
