- Benton Flippen composed Benton's Dream in the 1960s at Tommy Jarrell's house in Mt. Airy, North Carolina, and Tommy Jarrell named the tune.
- Quote
Susan Songer notes that Flippen wrote the tune some time in the 1960's while at neighboring Mt. Airy fiddler Tommy Jarrell's house, just fooling around on the fiddle. Jarrell said "That's a good tune" and dubbed it "Benton's Dream."
