You're a real traditionalist Charlie!

Yes, I am.

Gotta admit, that'd be one helluva jam session. 

I have the solution for organ. Although not a jazz organist, the incomparable E. Powers Biggs will sit stand in until a more suitable player can be determined.

Hmmmmm... I'd have to go with me on guitar, my friend Trey on bass, and my other friend Kenny on drums and call it The Surfonics.

Seems like I've heard of this group before.........!

@Charlie....... Thelonious Monk was one of those artist that people didn't "get" when he was still living. It wasn't until after he passed that he was hailed a genius because of his work........ He was born here in the big NC!

Noah Hunt - Vocals,  Buddy Guy - Guitar,  Mark Kendall - Guitar,  Steve Stevens - Guitar,  Mark Anthony - Bass , Craig Frost - Keyboards, Kenny Aronoff - Drums,  Crystal Bowersox, Gretchen Wilson, Kelly Clarkson - Backup Vocals

Yes it would be like Huey Lewis and the news back in the day with a fully maxed out stage.

Okay, I'm thinking about a very 50's-esque R&B infused rock band with the following lineup. 

Billy Joel - lead vocals & keyboards

Paul McCartney - bass guitar & backing vocals

Brian May - lead guitar 

Phil Collins - drums 

Prince - rhythm guitar & backing vocals

Okay guys now close your eyes and imagine these cats ripping up Johnny Be Good. I rest my case.
