"Radway's succinct tips on musicianship are also wonderful bits of guidance on how to conduct oneself in relationships outside of music. My two grade school-aged daughters and I have been enjoying "Musicianship 101" together. Although we aren't performers, nor are we professional musicians by any stretch, we can appreciate his lessons and how they would help develop professional working relationships in a band, with collaborators, clients, etc... As interesting, though, is how easily these same lessons can be applied to our own relationships everyday, to help us know how and when to harmonize, accompany and lead in our interactions with friends, family teammates, co-workers and colleagues."

~ Paul J. DeBenedittis, MTV & VH1 digital, Vice President, Operations
