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.

Remembering Garth Hudson of the Band Featuring Chest Fever

Today we found out that Garth Hudson, the last surviving member of influential group The Band, passed away at age 87 in Woodstock, NY. He was a multi-instrumentalist who played the organ, saxophone, accordion, synthesizers, trumpet, French horn, and violin.

I followed The Band since 1968 when I bought Music From Big Pink. Robbie Robertson, Rick Danko, Richard Manuel, and Levon Helm were the other members of the group.

Obituary in the New York Times.
