I’m Carter Smith from Common Ground Concerts. For the past 15 years, we have been presenting live music — currently at our home base, Common Ground Coffeehouse at The First Unitarian Society of Westchester in Hastings, as well at historic Irvington Town Hall Theater in Irvington. This program is intended to serve as both a guide to our whole 2016-17 season, as well as a program for a very special evening: “The Music of Linda Ronstadt: A Benefit for Parkinson's Research.” As some of you know, I was diagnosed with Parkinson’s Disease in 2013. Three years in, I struggle with things I used to take for granted, like reaching into my pocket or signing my name. But while I’m living with Parkinson’s, the emphasis is on living.
