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.

Happy 77th Birthday Dan Ingram

For readers of Bruce's Journal who are not into radio, Dan Ingram is the premier radio personality in New York. He is now retired, but was heard on 77-WABC from 1961-82, and had a weekend show on WCBS-FM from 1991-2003. The article in the Wikipedia discussed his career. I would also recommend this site authored by Allan Sniffen http://www.musicradio77.com/ingrammuseum2001.html. There are several short airchecks on Dan at that site. There are several airchecks of Dan at Reelradio which is a subscription service.

I had the pleasure of meeting Dan at the WABC Rewound cruise in June 2007. I took the photo of him seen above. Proud to be amonst you, Dan and have a happy and healthy birthday.
