On Sunday December 18, Phast Phreddie the Boogaloo Omnibus returned to Mama Roux in Newburgh, NY to guest DJ for a holiday edition of DJ Pete Pop’s fabulous Funky Brunch. On this day, Pete Pop had a family affair he wanted to attend that afternoon, so after he set up and played records for about 30 minutes or so, The Boogaloo Omnibus took over and swung the rest of the event.

Mama Roux has excellent food and folks come from all over the area to partake. There was an office X-mas party going on in the north corner and the rest of the room was fully occupied by folks enjoying their respective wonderful brunches. Nearly everyone complimented the DJ on their way out.

When it was time to close, there were fried chicken, French fries and corn fritters available for the staff—including the DJ and his official photographer Miss Nancy, who took all the photos seen here.
