The Nostalgia DJ

Popular songs and dance music from the 1920's,  1930's,  1940's, and  1950's.

Based in Ann Arbor, Southeast Michigan (MI)

Now, a DJ for those of us born by the 1940's.  No strobe lights!  No deafening rock music!  No punk, no funk, no trash, no rap, no disco!  But all those great old songs from the big band and pre-rock era.  I play the original recordings on a high quality but compact sound system.

Wonderful for anniversaries, birthdays, reunions, dances.  Want to hear music from special years?  Want to know what was popular on Feb 3, 1951?  I can tell you.  (It's computer cross-referenced with the Your Hit Parade & Billboard lists.)  And I can play them.  I encourage requests.

Have a party and I'll play everyone's favorite old songs!  I've got:  love songs,  nostalgic songs,  sing-alongs,  World War II,  Latin,  country/western,  folk, show tunes, Christmas,  and ethnic connection originals.

All the top vocalists: Bing Crosby,  Gene Austin,  Ruth Etting,  Annette Hanshaw,  Al Bowlly,  Mildred Bailey,  Fred Astaire,  Gene Autry,  Helen Forrest,  Mills Brothers,  Ink Spots,  Frank Sinatra,   Nat King Cole,  Perry Como,  Hank Williams,  Eddie Fisher,  The Weavers,  Chordettes,  Platters,  Elvis Presley,  Everly Brothers . . .

Dance to all the big dance bands:  Paul Whiteman,  Ray Noble,  Benny Goodman,  Glenn Miller,  Harry James,  Jimmy & Tommy Dorsey,  Artie Shaw,  Xavier Cugat,  Guy Lombardo,  Bill Haley.  Foxtrots,  swing,  waltzes,  polkas,  tangos,  rumbas,  and even some early rock 'n' roll.

Please note that during most of 2004, I am in Eagle Harbor MI, rather than Ann Arbor MI.  I can be reached at 906-289-4404 or the following Email address:
