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.

Remembering Sam Cooke

Lee played a greatest hits CD of Sam Cooke on as we ate dinner tonight. Next to the murder of John Lennon his death in my opinion was the most tragic. We always wonder what music he would have produced in the years since December 1964. Perhaps he would have become another Quincy Jones. He left a great works of music that live on today.
