About once a month, Phast Phreddie the Boogaloo Omnibus gets the call from DJ Pete Pop to swing at the Funky Broadway Brunch at Mama Roux. He got that call again on July 10.
On this occasion, the weather fully cooperated and the festivities were able to take place in the beautiful Mama Roux back yard. The DJ booth was set up in a little nook and folks from all over the Mid-to-Lower Hudson Valley dropped in to dig the brunch food and the hot toons that DJ Pete Pop and Phast Phreddie the Boogaloo Omnibus were laying down.
Speaking of food, soon after they walked in, The Boog and Boogaloo Bag photographer Miss Nancy were presented with some excellent quiche with a pastry on the side. Well, they had to pick out the ham parts, but other than that, it was an excellent quiche. Once the brunch was over, the chef pulled out a pasta dish of some sort along with a salad and all the staff members—which included the DJs and photographer—enjoyed it.
