The Greatest Bus Driver in the World, Jon Nelson, recently got a kick out of something I posted.

Here’s where life gets strange. I had not thought about the song “California Uber Alles” by the Dead Kennedys in years, but just last night, with the Governor’s butt still in recent memory, I posted a link to Mike Whybark’s Tussin Up archives. If you look over Mike’s blog, you’ll find, down at the bottom, a Quicktime film of his friend’s Seattle Punk Accordion Class performance of Calfornia Uber Alles. It sounds great and is totally way more punk rock than anything ever recorded by Rancid. The accordions achieve a sort of Klezmer sound that reminds of the Governor’s dad, and his many victims.

Hooray! I was very excited about posting that clip. Happy Jon enjoyed it.

However, although Jason is from Seattle, the singer in the clip is Aaron Seeman, who I don’t know personally. Jon may be excited to learn that Aaron is actually from the Bay Area, and that when Aaron’s tour is over he will be back in the same area that Jon lives.
