February Do The 45 took place on Valentines Day. There was plenty of love of reet music in the air! All night long, folks at Quinn’s were boppin’ to the boss sounds laid down by host Pete Pop, his co-host Phast Phreddie the Boogaloo Omnibus and guest DJ $mall ¢hange.

$mall ¢hange is one of the area’s finest and versatile DJs—he can play all kinds of stuff. He recently started a hustle up the river at the Half Moon in Hudson, NY. Plus, he still has gigs down in The City—The first Friday of the month at Studio 151 and the second Monday of the month at Union Pool. We’ve been watching him in action for about 20 years and we can attest that the man can play a record!! At the Do The 45 he played some great ones that kept the kids hoppin’!!

Resident Go-Go dancer Bella Bombora was back in action, often joined by her friend Princess Wow. Also, Miss Nancy made a bunch treats: black velvet cupcakes, chocolate cookies and her special chex mix. Yum-Ola!!!

DJ Pete Pop played his usual mix of excellent rock, latin and R&B jams. For the last hour or so, Pop, ¢hange and Phast traded three-record sets until the club kicked them out. Phast Phreddie the Boogaloo Omnibus played these records:
