A Whole Lotta Typing Going On

It seems the topics from the past several days have encouraged a number of readers to weigh-in with their own thoughts. More than 30 comments have been posted since last week so if you don't regularly review recent articles for new comments, you're missing out...

The most popular topic so far has been the issue of business cards (or lack thereof) with discussions about the growing number of orchestras approaching a work stoppage not far behind. Beyond that, readers have offered their thoughts on everything else including attendance woes in Cincinnati, the tone of San Antonio's labor negotiations, the slippery slope of reduced artistic expenditures, and concern over the rapid exodus of staffers.
