I don't know how central you are in central Il, but if St. Louis makes sense, I can recommend Dan Terry. P.M. me you want his phone #.

Thanks I will check them out. ST Louis is a little far But if the work is good enough I could make the hall. However I will check this Mark out first as he is much closer.

Scott Henrie is terrific. Many top Chicago bassists (CSO, Lyric Opera and jazz) use him. 773-743-8738
