Anthony Coscia

I would think this labor shortage is limited enough where it can be solved by moving the labor into the West, and China will have to do that eventually. That would serve to ameliorate the problem.

Eric Mortensen

I am honored that everyone wants to be a part of this. It doesn't seem to be a problem or an issue to get people to do things. We have all 60 slots filled and there's never a shortage of singers.
