Heaven (or Afterlife) all-star band - who is in yours
With so many great musicians no longer with us here on earth, if you had to make-up an all-star, all-afterlife band - who would be playing what in your band.

I know that John Bonham would be on drums. I'd love to have Jerry Garcia playing in it. Janis Joplin can do some vocals, maybe a nice duet with Mama Cass Elliott (or a trio with Billie Holiday)

Who is in your band

3. How about a little Frank Sinatra with your band
:D

BTW, each year Wilmington hosts a big Jazz festival in memory of Clifford Brown, a Wilmington native
