Cousin Brucie also did Rock n roll shows at the Brooklyn Paramount theater and old Palisades Amusement Park. He did a revival of those shows a few years ago at the Lead East car show in the Meadowlands, featuring Chubby Checker and Leslie Gore, one of her last public appearances. He also visited each and every high school in the NYC metro area. I got some WABC airchecks on my MP3, sometimes I'll play them when when I take the 64 to the car shows. Amazing how many NY transplants down here still remember Cousin Bruce with his corny jokes and the old WABC jingles.

Many of us remember the old days, of listening to AM radio and listening to favorite DJs and the “top 40” hits.

The radio business has really changed. The music stations have departed AM for FM. And few stations seem to have the prominent DJ personalities anymore.

This is a slice of Americana from a time gone by. I hope all the listeners enjoy.

I remember him from the original “Dirty Dancing” movie when he was on the car radio. (At least I think that was him.)

I got to see Cousin Brucie at Great Adventure New Jersey in the ‘90s (I was too late for Palisades. We in Connecticut went to Riverside in Agawam, MA).

He was there with Davey Jones. Good times. My then-girlfriend’s mother was more excited by Cousin Brucie than I was. I had heard of him, but he was of her era, and on her radio in Brooklyn.

Thsnk God he’s off SXM! Love the 60’s channel but can’t stand his show, which is like going to someone else’s high school reunion if you didn’t grow up in NYC. Youse can have him!

Last time I saw Brucie was at Radio City Music Hall when he did a tribute to Dion and the Belmont’s some time in the 80’s.

He has had a show on Sirius for a while. When he is on,I turn him off. I want to listen to music, not get the whole “experience.” I get that a lot of folks enjoy that. That’s why there are many channels.

God bless him though. I hope I am passionate about ANYTHING at 84.

YASSSS!!!!

I LOVE Cousin Brucie, and have missed his broadcasts....and, great music, of course!!

Much of the music was before my time, but I love listening, nonetheless. Calming and happiness, all (rock and) rolled, together! 🎶

Whenever I hear his voice, I think Cousin Brucie sounds like Penn Jillette.

I wondered why he seemed to have disappeared from SiriusXM.

I use to listen to him on WABC in the late 60s. Lived in Lebanon, PA and could only pick up WABC at night.

I used to listen to his Saturday Night Dance Party when I was in high school in the 80s. I didn’t really enjoy him in recent years on XM — too much talking, too much 50s stuff that didn’t interest me — but good for him. Wolfman Jack and Murray the K may be long gone, but Brucie’s still kicking.
