Michael also acted as Musical Director for Gus Sullivan's Arcadians—a group that played at the Mid-Cape Gardens in the 1920's. Located in West Harwich/Harwichport, the venue was later renamed "The Arcadia".</p> <p>When performing, "Mike", chose to end his name with a "y" instead of an "i" because he liked the look of it in advertisements and to appear less "Italian" so that it would also appeal to a broader audience.</p> <p>If you have any information on Michael, the members of his orchestra or other dates and times when they performed, please fell free to contact us at <a href="http://www.michaelpesanelli.com" title="www.michaelpesanelli.com">www.michaelpesanelli.com</a></p> http://www3.familyoldphotos.com/photo/massachusetts/25827/michael-pesanelly-and-his-brockton-orchestra#comments Massachusetts Bridgewater MA Brockton MA Harwich MA Yarmouth MA Barnstable Co MA Bristol Co MA Norfolk Co MA Plymouth Co MA Bands Music Musicians Orchestra Unknown Men Low Pesanelli Pesanelly Sylvester Sun, 15 Apr 2012 16:08:48 -0500 kciociola 25827 at http://www3.familyoldphotos.com
