Book Value …
Here is a present to the folk music community in honor of Pete Seeger’s Birthday (May 3, 1919 – January 27, 2014). A PDF version of my book – for free! More “RagTags” than you can shake a stick at – if that’s your idea of a good time.
Here I am, joining in at the Tribute to Pete workshop at the 2014 Philly Folk Festival.
It’s been three years since the publication of 15 Years of RagTag in book form – a collection of essays and columns, originally appearing in Sing Out! 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 decision to share our collaboration of these 56 columns with our community … and to let it fly on Pete Seeger’s birthday as a nod to the inspiring musician and activist we knew and admired. Art and Commerce. In a world where the line is often blurred, better to be read, than on the remainder table. No pun intended.
This gift is made in tribute to Seeger, and to Sing Out!, 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 Ed Courrier to illustrate them.
Enjoy. Thank you for reading! Please share the book link with you friends.
