Claims

  1. The Music Maker Foundation reports that Benton's Dream is now a standard heard at most old-time conventions, and that the tune persists in campground sessions at the Mt. Airy Fiddler's Convention as part of Flippen's continuing legacy.
    ""Benton's Dream" is now a standard you'll hear at most old-time conventions; his technique echoes on contemporary recordings; his example lives on in the spirit of loved ones, friends, and mentees."
