On June 25, Phast Phreddie the Boogaloo Omnibus once again stood in for DJ Pete Pop for his Funky Brunch at Mama Roux. If we are counting correctly, this is the twentieth Funky Brunch that The Boog has been involved with.

The Funky Brunch is a groovy Sunday affair hosted by Mr. Pop at the New Orleans-themed restaurant in Newburgh called Mama Roux. Man, the food is good at that joint and when Pete Pop gets his records going the marvelous music makes mastication much more magnificent. Sometimes The Boogaloo Omnibus helps him out and it still sorta swings. On June 25, Mr. Pop attended a family function, thus Phast Phreddie fed the funk to Mama’s fabulous patrons all day. It threatened to rain all day and the forecast probably kept some folks away. However, there were plenty of folks on hand to make the event fun and the humidity outside kept most of the patrons inside with the air conditioning. We got compliments on the music all day.
