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.

In Memory of Gerry Goffin who passed away at 75

In January Karen and I saw the broadway musical Beautiful which discussed the personal and professional relationship between songwriters Carole King and Gerry Goffin. Today we heard the sad news the Gerry Goffin passed away at age 75. In his memory I am featuring one of their big hits of the early 60s Up on the Roof by the Drifters.
