Arlon Bennett
"Be the Change (acoustic)"

Released in 2007

Arlon Bennett is a singer-songwriter in the New York area who always reminded me of Harry Chapin.  Arlon's career slowed down due to having Parkinson’s disease, which he made public three years after being diagnosed.

I interviewed Arlon about his music and life with Parkinson's disease in 2015.  That feature can be found here.

The show was billed as "Tony Tedesco & Friends" and featured Tony with Keith Monacchio and Lou Montesano - three guys you might have been able to see each week at The Saint 20 years ago.
