Arlon Bennett's songs have been compared to the paintings of %Norman Rockwell, and that is an accurate analogy; many of the folk-rock songs that Bennett has written could easily be described as musical vignettes that vividly depict American life, past and present. The East Coast singer/songwriter's subject matter has ranged from Vietnam veterans ("Bandanna Man") to the late sportscaster/baseball historian %Bob Murphy (who passed away in 2004) to married couples who have managed to stay together for 40 or 50 years, and Bennett's songs -- much like %Rockwell's paintings -- have often had a strong sense of Americana.
