Bruce's Journal

Bruce Slutsky was born in New York City in 1949. I recently retired after working as a Science/Engineering Librarian at the New Jersey Institute of Technology in Newark for 25 years. I have been married to Karen since 1983. We have a son Lee who is now 30 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. Since the inception of the team in 1962 I have been a big fan of the New York Mets.

Alice's Restaurant - A Thanksgiving Tradition on New York Radio

For as long as I can remember Alice's Restaurant has been played at 12 noon on both WFUV and Q-104.3 here in NYC on Thanksgiving. Years ago it was played on heritage radio station WNEW-FM. You can read the lyrics written by Arlo Guthrie at http://www.arlo.net/resources/lyrics/alices.shtml . If you have 18 1/2 minute free you can see and hear Arlo Guthrie perform it. Facebook friends can see it at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b8DtpdXZi0M&feature=related
