Its amazing that 50 years after Dawson died (he died in September 1961) his singing of Waltzing Matilda, and many other songs for that matter, has not been bettered.
You can hear the Australian salt and sunshine in Peter Dawson's voice, and also English tenor Webster Booth providing the final highnote from the backing male chorus. - John Austin, Australia
