Don't know how it is with ABQ AMPs, but down here in Cruces if a talented lass doesn't bring in the cash, they get shipped off to larger cities fairly quickly. I don't necessarily like sharing my new finds with other mongers, but it sure beats them being hundreds of miles away and us being stuck with leftovers from elsewhere.
Seems most of the LC mongers take the under the radar approach, the El Paso and SE New Mexico mongers seem to be more forthcoming in IDing new LC talent so that in my mind the talent stays in town longer. With the exception of Sunny on Wyatt, LC doesn't seem to keep the go-tos for any length of time. At least for us smaller burgs, keeping a talented lass to yourself does not work out well, the AMPs want to make money. Hitting an AMP up mid-day and you are the provider's first customer is a surefire indication that your new ATF may not be in town long. So for this monger, although I hate doing it and I may be crazy, I try to publicize the new finds.
