Serpentine Fyre rehearsal

The brothers Johnson & Johnson (Tyriq and Johnny of Santa Fe and The Fat City Horns) are doin' an additional new thing, an Earth, Wind, & Fire tribute (tentative name "Serpentine Fyre"). A-List cats, serious enterprise, I can attest. Right on the money. Tyriq invited me to their rehearsal at MDV today. The lineup:

• Chris Lukes -- Drums.
• Johnny Johnson -- Guitar
• Tom Schuman -- Keyboards (Spyro Gyra)
  
• Michael Jackson -- Keyboards
• Phil Wigfall -- Sax
• Nathan Tanouye -- Trombone
• Skip Martin -- Trumpet (Dazz Band, Kool & The Gang)
  
• Darryl Fields -- Bass
• Danny Reyes -- Percussion
• Tyriq Johnson -- Lead Vocals & Percussion
• Lori Kay -- Backup Vocals
• Avis Ellis -- Backup Vocals

All twelve weren't there today, but the eight Chasley and I heard were off-the-scale fine.

This is gonna be awesome. Wow.
