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.

Long Island Radio Day at CW Post

I always like to explore new places. I read yesterday on the New York Radio Message Board that there would be a Long Island Radio Day at CW Post Sponsored by Long Island Wireless Historical Society. The main thrust of the show was old time radio broadcasts, ham radio, and antique radio. There were tables with people selling old radios including the transistor radios that we used back in the 1960s There was another table with CDs and cassettes of Old Time Radio shows. We bought a CD of radio interviews of Elvis Presely. We attended a one hour talk detailing the history of ham radio. CW Post offered a tour of WCWP, the campus radio station. In the parking lot there was an SUV with the license plate 77 WABC. I posted on the Saturday Night oldies board (http://www.musicradio77.com/wabcboard/wwwboard//wabcboard1.html) asking who owned that car. Mark Simone didn't know.
