Name your dream band! Who is in it? What are their roles?

Just for giggles - pretend you have a budget to get anyone you want for a one record, 15-show tour.

CREATE YOUR DREAM BAND.

Be as specific as you can and let's have some fun!
We all want the stuff that's found in our wildest dreams.

Hard to top this. In fact you can put stokley on lead vocals, louis johnson
on bass, chris dave on drums, robert brookins on keyboard, and maurice on kalimba and as band producer and it's a done deal.

I listen to my old Brothers Johnson instrumentals - and I just shake my head when I hear Louis. That dude!!!! ...I knew Daddy Dave was dope but when I heard him on MeShell NdegeOcello's Comfort Woman CD - he went to a new level with me. ...Brookins is sooooo underrated. He can play anything. He always adds bottom to a band and I love his scratchy old soul voice.
