RagTag Header

Welcome to the online home page for Roger Deitz’s “RagTag” column. Roger’s always fluid and fun observations, and downright inspired way with a turn of phrase, have graced the last page of Sing Out! magazine for almost two decades. The first 15 years of his columns have been released as a book (ordering information in the sidebar to the right), and now we’re pleased to be able to share his more recent musings and reminiscences here in digital form.

If you’d like, you can subscribe to receive these columns via RSS or email (again, you’ll find the links for that on the right). To access any of the full essays excerpted below, just click on the title. Enjoy!
