A Present to The Folk Music Community on Pete Seeger’s Birthday (May 3, 1919 – January 27, 2014)
15 Years of RagTag
It’s been three years since the publication in book form of 15 Years of RagTag – a collection of essays and columns originally appearing in Sing Out! magazine between 1995 and 2010, written by Roger Deitz and illustrated by Ed Courrier.
While print books remain, and certainly digital books could yet be sold, Ed and I have made the judgment to share our collaboration of these 56 columns with our community. And to let fly on Pete Seeger’s birthday, as a nod to the inspiring musician and activist we knew and admired.
This in tribute to Seeger, and to Sing Out! magazine, founded in 1950 by Pete Seeger, Woody Guthrie, Paul Robeson and a host of others. Sing Out!, where editor Mark Moss encouraged me to write these columns and features, and Ed to illustrate them. Art and Commerce. In a world where the line is often blurred, it is better to be read than on the remainder table. No pun intended.
Enjoy, and thank you for reading! Please share the book with your friends.
Be well, Roger Deitz
