Can You Feel It is an independent radio show that operates on the premise that time period and genre are limiting concepts and that exploring the history and background of artists and their work is a worthwhile endeavor that will make you a better person
The making of a good compilation tape is a very subtle art. There are many do's and don'ts. First of all you're using someone else's poetry to express how you feel. This is a delicate thing.

Jon "Bermuda" Schwartz
Interestingly enough “Weird Al” Yankovic drummer Jon “Bermuda” Schwartz’s first instrument was the accordion but by age nine he had changed to the drums. He played in his school band, youth orchestras and in 1974 his first rock group won the L.A. County Battle of the Bands. In 1981 he met Al Yankovic at the Dr. Demento Radio Show and soon after became “Weird Al’s” first and only drummer. In 45 years of creating original and song parodies with the “Weird Al” band Jon has become practiced in drumming and sound creation in all manner of song genres and styles on both an acoustic drum set and though employing all manner of acoustic technology.
