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.

Congratulations to Al Kooper for his election to the Long Island Music Hall of Fame
Al Kooper has been mentioned several times in this journal. I have followed him since his days in the Blues Project in 1966. In my opinion he is one of the most underrated performers in rock history. Yesterday after I returned from the Oldies Meet and Greet I turned on WFUV where Pete Fornatale was playing tribute to Al for his election to the Long Island Music Hall of Fame. Pete was playing hits where flute music was featured in honor of Flute Thing which appeared on the Blues Project Projections album. I actually have a vinyl copy of that album that I bought back in the 1960s. At 7 PM Pete's interview with Al was aired on WFUV.
Congratulations to Al for this honor. If I had my way he would be inducted into the Rock N Roll Hall of Fame.
