[Trombone-l] Elvis and Bass Trombone

[Bill Langston]

Jerry Scheff (Elvis' bass player, father of Chicago's bass player Jason) 
is at http://www.jerryscheff.com/.  Also, Les Benedict 
(les at les-benedict.com <mailto:les at les-benedict.com>), who played tenor 
trombone (iirc) on that Hawaii comeback gig, has been on the list in the 
past.  Either of them might have some more information for you.
