In terms of performers it would be nice if there were other people besides the California rock mafia. We know Randy Newman & Stevie Wonder were at the private memorial. Randy could sing his own Same Girl, of course, but the song I think he would nail would be After Hours, which has the same world weary piano style he employs. Also while Seger is an obvious choice for Heartache Tonight, he could sing something like Somebody or possibly even River Of Dreams.
It's weird thinking back on Glenn's career that he didn't really hang out with other rock stars & he didn't work with them either. He had no high profile guests on any of his albums (apart from TBS on Soul Searchin') and the last time he was a guest on an album was Don's Inside Job. When Warren Zevon recorded The Wind, it featured Don, Joe & Tim. Glenn was nowhere to be seen. That was one reason I was so surprised to see the photo of him with Paul Stanley at the Hall of Fame & that Gene Simmons actually went on TV to talk about him. And of course all the musicians he knew/worked with are American.
How I wish he had got beyond writing the songs he was apparently writing for another solo album.
