While searching for Hal Beattie on Facebook, I found that he had passed away and a subsequent search on Google led me here. I'm terribly sorry to hear he had passed away. I was the soundman for a couple of bands that Hal played in, Goliath and Jackal, back in 1971 and a few years after. I still have promo shots I took of Goliath (and thus Hal) and would be glad to share them.
Hal was a fantastic trombone player, the consummate performer and had a fantastic sense of humor (you pretty much had to have that in Chicago bands). I truly loved working with him and wish I had remembered to look him up many, many years ago.
