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.

Sad News - Davy Jones Dies Suddenly at age 66

I learned by looking at Facebook that Davy Jones of the Monkees passed away today at age 66 after a heart attack in Florida. He appeared a few weeks ago at BB Kings after we saw Al Kooper there. It is quite sad when a person dies suddenly.

I became more interested in the Monkees as an oldies act. Back in the mid 1980s Karen and I saw them in concert on the West Side. A few years ago I downloaded a CD of their greatest hits from iTunes.

My condolences to his family.
