Milwaukee...flake or pro?

I got an email last week from a bass player/singer who is originally
from Milwaukee.
Been here about 2 years.
He said he has been playing in Milwaukee for 25 years with big bands,
Still in a big band that makes big bucks there but they don't gig
enough for him.
He wanted to get something going out here.
So I called some friends and they are interested in doing it.
To make a long story longer.....
After many hours of playing answering machine tag I arranged a get
together for when the bass guy is available.
He cancelled so I rearranged it for Sunday...he cancelled.
So I set it up for Saturday...he cancelled.
The other guys, including myself said 'screw it'.
Anybody know this guy?
He is 37 and his name is Mark Whit....
Plays a 6 string bass.
Is it worth pursuing?
