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.

Joan Baez and Richard Nixon

What do Joan Baez and Tricky Dick Nixon have in common? They both celebrate a birthday today. President Nixon passed away in 1994, while Joan Baex is alive and well and still active in the music business. Today Lee picked the CD Joan Baez sings Bob Dylan. I know HH of NJIT is reading this entry. I have many Dylan cover CDs in my collection. Some are recorded by the same artist; Steve Howe, Grateful Dead, Jerry Garcia, and Tim O'Brien. I have Dylan covers by genre; blues, country, and reggae. Tonight there was a Nixon question on Jeopardy.
