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.

Walk Don't Run by the Ventures
I remember listening to the radio in the 1960s when WABC did their newscast at :25 and :55 before WMCA's at :00 and :30. Very often the station had about 30 seconds to play music before the newscast, so they would play part of an instrumental. It was so frustrating a good hit and then it was cut off. At least today instrumentals are played in their entirety on internet radio. I have a 5 CD set of instrumental hits issued by Rhino Records. One of my favorites has to be Walk Don't Run by the Ventures.
