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.

One Major Reason Music Stores are Going Out of Business
I was in the Bay Terrace Shopping Mall this afternoon, so I stepped into FYE, which to my knowledge is the only music store still left in Queens. I browsed around and looked at prices. I was interested in the new CD Electric Dirt by Levon Helm (formerly of the Band). Their price was $19.99 while the price at Amazon.com was $7.99. Of course, I waited until I got home and ordered it online. I don't mind waiting a few days for it to come in the mail. Since I ordered 3 CDs for about $27, I got free shipping. If I need a new CD in a hurry I can always download it through Itunes or Amazon.com. I have done that a few times, but not recently.
