Like Bun, Slim and Paul are both huge Texans fans and will no doubt find their way to New Orleans regardless. Especially if there's a DC reunion, Beyonce could put them to work on the T.I./Lil Wayne parts of "Soldier" and "T-Shirt" from Destiny Fulfilled, if not more.
3. Robert Glasper & Jason Moran Beyonce could turn her halftime show into an HSPVA reunion with two of the premeire pianists in contemporary jazz. That sounds a little light on spectacle, true, but maybe they could turn it into some kind of Fabulous Baker Boys routine -- just sit back and watch the sparks fly.
2. Grady Gaines, Milton Hopkins, Texas Johnny Brown & Little Joe Washington All right, we admit it: This one is mostly just to plug Discovery Green's "Blues & Burgers" lunchtime concerts again. All this month it's featuring the great Houston labels Duke and Peacock, which gave the world songs like "Pledging My Love," "Hound Dog," "Farther On Up the Road" and oh so many more (Hopkins' band plays today at 11:30 a.m.). Beyonce already proved she has a way with vintage R&B in Cadillac Records, and these four local survivors -- all still actively gigging around town -- would make an ideal backup band. And if there's anyone on the planet who might be able to upstage Beyonce, it's Little Joe.
