SharonA - no, I did not mean to infer that I like, or will embrace copy bands who do dead folks; fact is, I have no interest at all in seeing a copy band of anyone - alive or dead. I do, however, accept the idea that some folks would disagree with me and would/do like to see copy bands/solos of artists who have passed on. I am of the opinion that Jed and emily s, above, have hit the nail as well as anyone might. Well, it's time for some Betty Boop cartoons; she's dead too,ya know, but I've got copies, so...........Cheers,.....mwh
