Aside from the already-raised 'minority interest' issues brought up,
there is also the other problm of getting any of these people to speak
to you. I mean, why would they bother wanting to conduct an interview
about *one instrument* they (might have) played *once*, perhaps decades
ago? Wyatt (for instance) raves on about the Mellotron in the liner
notes to 'Matching Mole' but has never used one since.
