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.

I Was A Winner on That Thing With Rich Appel

I listen to That Thing With Rich Appel on Sunday nights on Pop Gold Radio or WLNG.com. I believe it is now heard on over 70 radio stations. Rich had a contest where he asked listeners to email to him the name of the first 45 RPM record that they bought. For me, it was Bits and Pieces by the Dave Clark 5. Winners would get a copy of Ranking the 60s a reference book that listed the top songs and recording artists in the decade.

I came home today and didn't remember ordering anything, but I opened up the package and there was the book.

Thanks Rich!
