Da Funky Phish

The stars were out in Bay Shore last night, as many of our beloved Easytown Radio All-Stars were in attendance at Da Funky Phish for the Suck It Easy extravaganza! More than 200 photos were shot with Bub's camera (thank you Zinn, and Christine, and Bub of course). The pics will be online soon for your viewing enjoyment. In the meantime, here's my Top Ten favorite things that happened at last night's party:

10. I was on percussion and backing vocals, while Frank Walker and Russ Rogers played ukes and Craig Phish sang lead vocals on "The Lion Sleeps Tonight"

9. Mike Ferrari was there, celebrating his birthday in style, and it was a joy for me to wish him a happy birthday from on stage.

8. Frank Gabriel joined me on stage to help sing the Kool & The Gang classic "Celebration".

7. Bub lost his $200 pair of sunglasses, and later found them waiting for him underneath a drum kit.

6. Afro wigs were in full effect and after a while it seemed like everyone was getting in on the act, from Matt Jasper to Dennis Lucenti to Paul Wenzel etc...

5. The horn section was hot, nothing beats the one-two punch of a saxaphone and trombone, extra special thanks to Dennis Lucenti and Matt Jasper for bringing the brass.

4. Don Uts sang a freestyle diddy and we got some hot afro choreography going on, there was some sweet headbobbin' and side-to-side groovin' goin' on.

3. Jamming on stage with The Restaurant during a Poison song. I was on ukulele.

2. Russ Rogers presented me with my very own ukulele. It's only been mine for one day so far, and already it's become my favorite instrument of all time. Thanks, brother Russ!

(drum roll please................)
1. Celebrating the birth of my niece, Lia Kelly. She doesn't know me yet, but someday she will, and she's going to have the best uncle in the whole wide world!
