Jim Pritchard, Pop Music Historian and DJ!

pam — Wed, 21 Jul 2010 07:15:08 +0000

I am a pop music historian and DJ, specializing in the music of the years 1935-1975. As an ex-radio DJ (’61-’76), I bring a superb speaking ability, personal knowledge of the era, and numerous personal stories of celebrities I interacted with! I DJ dances in small venues with a VAST array of the music of yesteryear. So contact me for a presentation on pop music history, OR to be the DJ at your facility or event.

I already entertain at Portland area senior facilities but I’d enjoy doing more–and I am available to travel widely!
