Page "Jon Schwartz (drummer)" Paragraph 3

Schwartz has played drums for every " Weird Al " Yankovic concert since 1981, except for three shows during the 2003 Poodle Hat Tour ; a minor illness prevented him from playing the drums, and bassist Steve Jay's friend and collaborator Pete Gallagher, who was working as a tech on that tour, sat-in on the drums while Schwartz handled the electronics, cues, and vocals from behind the drum riser.
