Kenny Lyon, Jason Meyers, or Mark Christian on guitar. Mike Boito or Jamieson Trotter on piano, Mike Bolger for either piano, trumpet, or accordion, Danny Frankel, Scott Breadman, Willie McNeal, Paul Allen, Mark San Filipo, or Mike Duffy on drums. David Ralicke, Matt Demerritt, or James King on sax/flute etc., Joey Aayoub (There are 2 in LA. The curly haired one), or Mike Uhler on bass.
