FLAG WAVING

After all these years, I finally feel like an American instead of just a U.S. citizen. It’s time to buy and fly an American flag.

DEEPLY THANKFUL

Just a quick note to thank you all, particularly Troy [Carrington], for the recent review of deepnine’s Flowers on the Dirt Road Home [“Groove Out,” June]. I really appreciate your support of

independent musicians and the positive vibe.

Roberts, an openly gay songwriter and musician, is the force behind the band deepnine (http://deepnine.com).
