In this can’t miss episode of Latch-Key Dads, we sit down and interview Jon “Bermuda” Schwartz, longtime drummer and friend of “Weird Al” Yankovic.  In the first of a two-part interview, Jon tells us what it was like putting together his new book, “Lights, Camera, Accordion! Eye-Popping Photographs of Weird Al Yankovic, 1981-2006”.  We also ask about touring with the band, cool celebrity moments and “Weird”, the new “Weird Al” biopic.
