Well, Andy - perhaps the point you madeought to have been 'who here gives a monkeys about...'.However, Dianna's film is I suspect not aimed at a small number ofenthusiasts here and more at a large market of potentially interestedaudience. She'll include contemporary musicians because there is afighting chance that this group of people will have actually have heardof him. I do not imagine the same could be said of The Strawbs.
