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.

Harry Harrison is a Class Act on and off the Air

It is just over 10 years since Harry Harrison left the morning show at WCBS-FM. In late 2004 and early 2005 he did a Saturday morning show on WCBS-FM just before the station was hijacked. Morning radio just has not been the same since Harry retired. My fondest memory of his show was in May 2001 when Harry announced Lee's Bar Mitzvah on the air the day before. We played the tape at his reception.

Through Steve Gilinsky, Harry found about about the tragic passing of Alan Berman. The following note was posted today on Facebook. Harry really bonds with his listeners and is a real class act.
