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 79th Birthday Frankie Valli
Back in Fall 1965 the Four Seasons with lead singer Frankie Valli had a hit with Let's Hang On. It was a "no no" for a record company to release two 45 RPM singles at a time by the same artist. So, they released a cover of Bob Dylan's Don't Think Twice It's Alright using the name "The Wonder Who." This Dylan song has been covered by many artists over the years. You can safely call the Wonder Who's version a parody. In any event I wish Frankie Valli a happy birthday.
