Bronco Jim was the weekend Disc Jockey for 5 Years at the Yellow Rose nightclub in Manville, NJ. In the last 2 years there he also served as the Assistant Manager working on Thursdays and Sundays.

Bronco Jim was the Disc Jockey at Midnight Rose nightclub in Quakertown, PA for 2 years on Wednesdays and Thursdays. The Midnight Rose was located inside the Seafood Shanty restaurant. In the beginning there was no DJ on Friday & Saturday nights. Bronco Jim would spend Thursdays during the day making tapes with his voice to be played during the band breaks on Friday & Saturday nights. He called dances and even introduced the bands. The manager just had to start and stop the tapes at the right moments. Eventually they hired a DJ. Bronco Jim relocated to a dance club in Hamilton, NJ called the Country Dance Barn. It was renovated movie theater. It had huge wooden dance floor and nice wooden decor. Bronco Jim spent 5 years there working every night the place was open.

Montana West in Quakertown, Pa came into my life. In December 2002, I was asked to come help out on Friday night. It was my first time at the club. I had no voice because I was just getting over being sick but I went anyway. The next day I was told they got a lot of e-mails about me saying what a good job I did. Not long after that I started working there on a regular basis. Started on Thursdays, worked Sundays, some Saturdays. After 2 years I was made the Head DJ. I came in early on the nights I worked. Sometimes I was there even on the off days. I kept the DJ Booth in shape, did the computer updates, edited videos, made slideshows, and added new music. I worked there for 8 years until the club closed in September 2010. Pig Pen Sports Bar, Allentown, Pa. I was a Disc Jockey there briefly from September 2010 to December 2010. They tried to get a Country Sunday Night going. Due to a lack of response it got cancelled. I have 26 years experience. No one knows the music better than me. No one runs a more organized dance floor than me. If you feel my expertise would benefit your club, have the managers or club owners contact me.
