I woke up this morning to the sad news that David Bowie passed away at age 67. I thought back to the first time I heard his music. It was early 1973 as I was a student at the University of Rhode Island and lived in the Scarborough Beach area of Narragansett. In Rhode Island everybody listened to WPRO as Salty Brine was the morning DJ. I don't think it was during the morning, but I heard Space Oddity by David Bowie on WPRO, the station that reaches the beaches.
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.
