New book on bluegrass band performance

Thanks to Enda Donnelly of Fair City Grass for news of a new book - Stage performance guide for your bluegrass band by Mark Johnson, published in Kansas and available from the author for $15. Details can be seen on the Mandolin Cafe website. From the extract there, we'll quote a couple of lines:

If you want your band to be successful, here’s one of the most important questions you should ask yourself... Why should someone buy a ticket and come to our live show?

As Enda says, 'I wish there was something like this when I got into bluegrass.' For anyone who has or knows the Pete Wernick book, How to make a band work, it would be interesting to make comparisons.
