Richard Dyer-Bennett, American Troubader, will present excerpts from his repertoire of six centuries of ballads, sea chanteys, folk ditties, and Australian Bush songs over the Network tonight at 9 o'clock.
He has performed in New York's Town and Carnegie Halls, appeared in the only one-man USO show overseas, recorded nine albums of ballads, and is currently on his third tour of the United States.
It took nine years of study and travel to enable Dyer-Bennett, born a cousin of thirteenth British baronet Swinnerton Dyer, to develop his skill in the long-lost art of minstrelsy. Last summer he established the Dyer-Bennett School of Minstrelsy in Aspen, Colorado.
