Video: Country band sings the tragic tale of Charlie and the SFTMA
At April’s Muni Diaries Live, Mesquite and Mustard sang the tragic tale of Charlie and the SFMTA and what happens when the bus fare jumps up just a little more than you realized. Look closely: The band also has the most amazing Muni-themed shirts (and bolo tie!) west of the Mississippi.
The band also impressed all of us with some awesome fiddling, mixed in with funny (and nearly real) Muni stop announcements. Bet you never imagined this!
This performance was recorded at Muni Diaries Live at the Elbo Room on April 18, 2015. More from that night:

That was cute, throwing in a reference to the B Geary car, which hasn’t run since 1956.
