Bruce's Journal

Bruce Slutsky was born in New York City in 1949. I retired six years ago after working as a Science/Engineering Librarian at the New Jersey Institute of Technology in Newark for 25 years. I was married to Karen until she passed away in February 2021. I have a son Lee who is now 35 years old. I am very much interested in the popular music of the 1960s, especially Bob Dylan and the Beatles. I am interested in rock and roll radio. I am an enthusiastic fan of the New York Mets.

Ravi Shankar Dies at 92

It was reported today that Indian sitar virtuoso Ravi Shankar died at age 92. He is best know to followers of pop music as teaching Beatle George Harrison to play that very complex musical instrument. Back in the late 1960s Ravi did teach at City College of New York when I was a student there. My condolences to his family and friends.
