On April 1, the sun was shining warmly in Broad Channel as the dampness of a few days of heavy rain began to burn off. Unfortunately, due to government-directed stay at home orders, few were outside to enjoy the spring morning.

DJ Paddy Tubz is here for the partyAt exactly 9:00 am that morning, a Facebook post was launched by Broad Channel native known as DJ Paddy Tubz. The post read Ill be DJing off my back deck, from 6 pm 8:30 pm on Thursday.. It will be an evening of fun, sing-alongs and dance grooves.

Hundreds of Facebook likes/loves, shares, and comments later, it was apparent the little island of Broad Channel was in need of a good party and Paddy Tubz was just the right DJ to deliver the tunes.

The next day, albeit a bit chillier and windier, Tubz stayed true to his promise, setting up his gear on the deck of his home located on West 11th Road in BC.

At 6:30, the veteran DJ fired up a FB Live from The CoronaVirus Quarantine Virtual Bar a page created by locals to kick off virtual happy hours, display musical talent, and provide a place for a few light-hearted laughs during these strange times.

Donning his best pirate costume the perfect attire for an outdoor Coronacation party Tubz began spinning tunes and entertaining the crowds.

Hundreds watched online, while Tubzs local canal block neighbors camped out on their adjacent decks with cocktails in hand to take in the performance. Both audiences took selfies of themselves and their families watching the spectacle and posted those pictures on social media.

As the sun went down, the winds were gusting, but Tubz continued to play with his neighbors cheering him on, singing along and some were even dancing on their decks. Friend and neighbor, Ruth Truden-Nocerino shared her enthusiasm and appreciation for Tubz on Facebook by posting For those that dont live in BC the wind was whipping off the bay and he still killed it!
