Maestro's blind bandleader rises in East Coast society circles
Phil Bennett, blind since birth, leads the Solely Band and became a top East Coast society musician. He plays 18 instruments, studied at Oberlin Conservatory, and keeps his blindness private to avoid pity while earning praise for musical talent and stage presence. He recalls a dramatic dress mishap and a bat circling during a ballroom date.
