Peter Dawson is one of my favourite singers and "Santa Barbara" one of my favourite recordings. Thank you for posting it.

I think he did a lot of psueds,even a scottish sounding singer that fooled Harry Lauder of the name Hector Grant on Zonophone.

And he was 'Will Strong' and 'Robert Woodville' - a true giant in his field.

A rousing tune indeed, I've sung this as it's in one of Peter Dawson's song books; I used to play the record and then have my friend play it on the piano if we had the music for the song, whatever the song may be, we had good fun as I sung baritone so it was easy to be a budding Peter Dawson, the blacksmith singer who was never ashamed of his tattooed arms and became a firm favourite in every continent. He has now joined the internet era,showing great talent never dies. Thanks for the upload.
