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.

Hello Dolly, Jeopardy, Casey Kasem and My Cassette Walkman
Yesterday I brought my cassette walkman (remember them?) to listen to music on the commute to work. I listened to a tape of American Top 40 with Casey Kasem. He featured a countdown of the 40 top girls name songs. As I left the train last night Casey was going to play Hello Dolly by Louis Armstrong, but I had to shut the cassette player off.
When I got home I watched a tape of Jeopardy from earlier in the evening. The final Jeopardy answer in the category Billboard #1 hits was: Song that kicked Can't Buy Me Love by the Beatles out of number 1 in 1964 (Jet Screamers favorite year). The question: What was Hello Dolly by Louis Armstrong. What a strange coincidence.
