So he's got the talent, I personally like his music which doesn't have to happen, but it sure helps and he's got the professionalism and the understanding of the relation- ships. So even though he's a new artist with a new album there's so much we already have going for us. He's a new name for 90 percent of the public. He's 80 percent there on the other end of it, in the business end of it, which enables us to spend that much more of our time not worrying about all the other stuff. .. just worrying about translating who Felix is to the consumer. That's a 50 percent swing-and that's a tremendous swing to have in terms of where you put your time. In three years, Felix Cavaliere is the only artist that we've signed and released.
