	Web Archive Copy: Sports Factor: Dawn Fraser
		Dawn Fraser: Oh, running around and jumping up and down and laughing and telling jokes, or screaming out at the masseur that she’s pulled a muscle in my leg, and then sort of just disturbing them, whereas I wasn’t disturbing myself, I was disturbing their meditation and their time to think.
		Dawn Fraser: Yes, I was, because as I said, coming from an industrial area in Balmain, we had our baths and all of a sudden this suave man came down and took over our baths, and put lanes down and had all these kids swimming up and down, and took all of our swimming area.
		Dawn Fraser: that I was born in.

	Dawn Fraser, Australian Olympian
		Dawn was extremely competitive and started training with the men in her effort to compete in the South Australian Championships in 1955-1956.
		In 1964 rightly or wrongly, Dawn felt the wrath of officialdom and was suspended and banned for 10 years from swimming.
		Since Dawn was always playful and not fond of rules, it could have been because she marched in the opening ceremony without permission, wore a non-regular swim suit in a semi-final or stole a flag from the Japanese Emperor's palace in Tokyo.

	The CBLA Remembers Dawn Fraser CB Poet
		Fraser is best understood as a bard in the tradition of Robert Service (whose poems he knew off by heart), and as part of a strong oral culture in Cape Breton that preserved working class traditions and values.
		Fraser is one of the few literary voices of the new and independent working class culture, a voice no longer willing to defer to capital.
		Fraser condemns the newspapers for telling how "the prince/ Had caught a cold, and how the princesses' youngest kid/Was nearly four years old" but not reporting that Crimmons and others like him died starving to death in the street.

	CNN.com - Australian swimming legend favored to light Olympic torch - September 11, 2000
		Fraser, who still lives in the house where she was born in 1937, accomplished so much in her brilliant career that last year the world's sportswriters named her the greatest female swimmer of the 20th century.
		Fraser set 27 individual world records during her career, the last a time of 58.9 seconds in the 100-meter freestyle -- in the 1964 Tokyo games -- that wasn't broken until 1972.
		Fraser became a national icon, in part because of the ban, and many believe she will be the one to take the flame that has traveled from Greece and set Sydney's torch ablaze.

		All the tunes on Dawn Dance were written by him, but this is very much an ensemble approach to music -- which will also show up later in his Skyedance 'super band' (see Kim Bates' review of Skyedance at the Music Hall in Toronto for a superb look at this group live).
		Despite the cover art of a lone fiddler against the breaking dawn sky, there are a number of very talented musicians besides Fraser involved.
		Dawn joins an amplified fiddler, a bass player, and an indefatigable drummer in providing an eclectic mix of very loud, rollicking music for the dancing guests, including her host and hostess.' Well, this is the music that I would expect to find at that party!
