The August Do The 45 was another fun one. Held, as it always is, at Quinn’s fabulous Rock ’n’ ramen joint in beautiful downtown Beacon, NY, host DJ Pete Pop decided to continue with his Three-to-Three-to-Three concept of record selecting. It had guest DJ Phast Phreddie the Boogaloo Omnibus trying to make mini three-song sets all night. Sometimes it worked out. Other times, it was just plain fun.

Pete Pop, for his part, played some of his finest records. Readers, attending a DJ Pete Pop night at Quinn’s something that must be experienced in your lifetime. Pete Pop has some fantastic records and he is not shy about playing them at the Do The 45. Each month he surprises us with more great selections.

Although she was advertised, Go-Go dancer Sheba Shake did not make the scene. However, Bella Bombora made up for it by being up on the raised dance floor almost the entire night. When Miss Bombora is hired to dance, you will get your money’s worth, that’s for sure!!

Miss Nancy made some excellent sweet vittles that were devoured in a short time.
