Boston Nashville by Mike Pellecchia
I wrote these songs and produced them with musical colleagues in Boston and Nashville. Since Boston is full of musicians who read conventional notation, the arrangements for the Boston songs feature written out charts. Since Nashville is full of musicians who read their own numbering system, the arrangements for the Nashville songs were done accordingly. The lyrics just came to me and they seemed to fit into songs better than speech. I hope you like them and if so, please buy and share.

Mike wrote these songs in some of his favorite vintage styles of pop music, as he heard them on the radio and vinyl records in the 1960s. One song is a cover, "You Call It Joggin'", by the late John D. Loudermilk.
