Oral History Information

Bob Popyk knows enough about the music industry to write about it! Bob had several music retail stores before selling them in 1979 to form a sales and marketing strategies business. Since that time he has been active writing columns for Music Trades magazine and providing sessions at several NAMM shows on a wide range of topics. While a retailer, Bob carried Wurlitzer, among many lines, and grew to know the people and products that made that company a major force in the industry for several decades. Bob’s first interview was conducted during the Wurlitzer employee reunion in 2003, his second took place at the Nashville NAMM Show in 2015 when he focused on covering his role in the growth and development of the Idea Center.
