For some unknown reason, Phast Phreddie the Boogaloo Omnibus was not asked to guest DJ with Pete Pop at the Funky Brunch in May. Usually, when asked, the two boss record spinners take turns twirling their vinyl. Did not happen in May. However, in June, Mister Pop had two family obligations he had to attend to and it left The Phast One to swing the Funky Brunch by his lonesome! The first one took place on Sunday June 11.

To refresh the Boogaloo Bag readers’ memories, The Funky Brunch takes place every Sunday at Mama Roux, a very groovy New Orleans-themed restaurant located in the heart of beautiful, downtown Newburgh, NY. The place is elegant and serves the most delicious food on that side of the Hudson River. Every Sunday, from 11 in the morning until about 3 or 4 in the late afternoon, DJ Pete Pop sets a funky mood by playing recordings of Funk, Soul, Latin Boogaloo, Cumbia and all sorts of exotic rhythms. Sometimes, Phast Phreddie the Boogaloo Omnibus hangs with him. Sometimes, like on June 11, Pete Pop calls in sick and the Phast Man swings alone. He will do it again on June 25.
