I think today the domestic site certainly has shrunk down big time. On the Latin side, it's grown tremendously. We have people that come here all the time and I just don’t see the passion. I don’t see the common sense. They're not prepared. I was in the mailroom, but I was going to school at night. I had common sense. You know what I'm saying? And I wanted to better myself and I knew I had nothing to rely on other than myself. But, you know, we have people and it's just so hard to find people today. And yet they come through here. I don’t know. I don’t know.

I think the Latin business today can afford a great deal - has many more opportunities for people like myself back then. Because back then it was a tiny business, but today it's a big business comparatively speaking. I just think it's - if the right people come along in the - on the Latin side - I think they can have a career.

On the domestic side, I’ll tell you, it's survival of the fittest. You got to be great. You got to be great, because it's down to the bone. A lot of the people that survived for many years on the domestic side and were able to make a living in the music business when all these cutbacks started to happen, those were some of the first people, of course, I'm sure there were very - a lot of talented people also that were casualties in the process. But for the most part it's a lean, mean, and tough business today. It really is and you have to have the goods.
