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.

Rainy Day Dylan Radio Show #1

It was raining quite steadily this morning. I got on the web and did my surfing to some of the Bob Dylan folders. I had known for sometime that Bob Dylan was going to be the DJ for a new show on XM Satellite radio. I have been grappling for sometime over whether I should subscribe to XM. Since Radio@aol offers the music channels of XM, I've decided not to subscribe. The only thing I am missing is the portability. I have to listen on my computer. Anyway, I knew that the show was to premier on Wendesday May 3rd at 10 AM. Somebody gave a link to http://www.expectingrain.org which gave a link to a preview of Dylan's first radio show. I recorded it and burned a CD of it. For more information on this show, you can go to http://www.xmradio.com/bobdylan. This first show featured songs about the weather. Dylan was the DJ and didn't select any of his songs.
