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.

Mr. Lee wants to meet Mr G.

Mr. G (real name Irv Gikofsky) has been the weatherman on the morning show on WCBS-FM since the Harry Harrison days. I believe that for the two years that the station was hijacked he appeared on Mix 102.7 FM. He is also on WPIX-TV.

Lee just loves it when Mr. G comes on the air at 6:20 AM. Very often a version of Mr. Lee by the Bobbettes is played as he is introduced by Dan Taylor. Other times he is introduced by a modified version of the Mister Ed theme. "Hello, I'm Mister G."

I bought tickets today for the CBS Radio Expo to be held this Saturday at Yankee Stadium. Lee said he was most anxious to meet his favorite weatherman. "Schlep the umbrella!"
