Welcome to Jake's Happy Nostalgia Show, the podcast where nostalgia comes alive!
In this episode, we're thrilled to welcome legendary drummer and longtime "Weird Al" Yankovic collaborator, Jon "Bermuda" Schwartz! For over four decades, Bermuda has been the rhythmic force behind Al's iconic parodies, touring the world and recording countless fan-favorite tracks. But he's more than just a drummer—he's also the band's official historian and archivist, curating a massive collection that captures the unique legacy of "Weird Al." Bermuda joins us to chat about his musical journey, his incredible archive, and what it's like being part of one of the most beloved comedy acts in music history. We also dive into his two photo-packed books, Black & White & Weird All Over and Lights, Camera, Accordion!, which offer a rare behind-the-scenes look at life on the road and in the studio. Plus, hear about his collaborations beyond Al, including his work with the religious comedy group ApologetiX.
Special thanks to our guest co-host Kev for joining us again!
