Bachelor

Hello Orlando this is Dj Papo I happen to stumble on this page and it has been really great to hear from u. We had so many good time together. We have a lot to catch up to. It's been a long time since the Flying Saucer. I would like to get in contact with u. Here is my phone # 813-526-2989. Also think that ur a great Dj that is why u was my partner in crime. Sincerly Dj Papo.

Hi to all, my name is Orlando Torres del Pino. I was the DJ who opened the Flying Saucer in april 14 of 1979. I was 19 years old at the time. Prior to that I worked in Rachid's, Peter's and I also opened Mirage at the San Juan Hotel. I also had played the streets of N.Y where I originated from.

I would like to leave this for the record. The Flying Saucer had 2 good D.J's and Harry was the other one. I opened it he closed it. A few other's played there, a few other's claim that they played there. Shame on those.

My assistant was Roberto. I hired Roberto after Papo from N.Y and Bachelor's turned down the job. Papo was the best D.J I ever heard and a true friend. Papo did Bachelor while Pablo Flores was In Califiornia in the late 70's. I did a few nights in Bachelor to relieve him while he dissapeared into the nigt so he had always been my silent partner in crime. Papo, I haven't seen you in over 30 years so if you're stilI alive, I love you and you were the best. (Oscar from San Juan San Juan, RIP... Leo from Sacramonte RIP... Smiley from Lyon's RIP and the others who are not here)

I left the Flying Saucer to work in El Morocco, an upscale live Salsa Club outside of Isla Verde, where I hung out with the likes of Hector Lavoe, Frankie Ruiz and many Salsa Legends. Too bad they couldn't lay off the poison and passed on.

After the clubs I became a succesful Banker, married and divorced 3 times and retired at 47 because of Hearing Loss and Severe Tinnitus due to the exposure to the loud music.

My main love now is my only son. He's 5 and I waited a long time to have him. He loves Disco and his favorite song is I Will Survive.

Today is October 14 2011, I am 51 and I live in Isla Verde and god do I have stories

HOLA - Just wanting to add my Salutations & Best Wishes!!

There was another DJ in the 70's DJ Harry Rosado, he DJ after hours in Bachelor's and a good friend to Pablo Flores. Harry competited in the early 80's in a competition held in the El San Juan Hotel Disco which Harry was given 2nd place. I was Harry's wife back than.

I was just checking this website and found you guys here talkiing smack... It is good to see names I recognize from the 80's.. Does anyone know what happened to DJ McCoy? from the P-Sue, lazer etc...

The light show in Bachelor was unreal the sound system unbelievable and until today Pablo Flores is the best dj I have ever heard and I know about djing I've been djing since 1980. By the way how can i contact Pablo I'll like to get some of his old tapes.

What Manny Munet said,is true.I never worked there.I worked in Hollywood Disco and Camilot Disco in Old San Juan.

baron lopez and jorge valentin never dj at bachelors,it was me who work with pablo in the years 1980 to 1986 after i was gone jose varona replace me until pablo quit bachelors.
