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.

For National Coffee Day - One More Cup of Coffee, a Dylan Song Covered by Roger McGuinn and Calexico

Since today is National Coffee Day, Corny O'Connell on WFUV asked listeners on his "Question of the Day" feature to suggest songs that are about coffee. The following songs were selected:

Hozier "Too Sweet"
Roy Ayers, Dee Dee Bridgewater, Wayne Garfield "Coffy Is the Color"
k.d. lang "Black Coffee"
The Ink Spots "Java Jive"
Cowboy Junkies "Anniversary Song"

He did not select One More Cup of Coffee by Bob Dylan. I featured it in my journal entries on National Coffee Day in 2022 and 2024. In 2021, I featured a cover of that song by Tom Jones. Today, I am featuring a cover by Roger McGuinn and Calexico that was heard in the movie "I'm Not There."
