Paul Race Music: Home Page
![]() |
Paul Race loves and plays most kinds of music, but he is especially fond of acoustic-based and traditional styles. If that makes you think of artists like Pete Seeger, Tom Paxton, Jim Croce, and Rich Mullins, you're on the right track. Since the 1960s, Paul has been performing original songs in just about any kind of performance situation you can imagine - coffeehouses, festivals, churches, schools, nightclubs, camps, street fairs - you name it.
If you check out Paul's online resources, you'll notice that Paul spends a lot of time these days helping other musicians make good choices and find the resources they need, especially musicians who are interested in acoustic or traditional music. For example the CreekDontRise.com acoustic instrument pages provide a lot of background on various kinds and uses of acoustic instruments. Paul's RiverboatMusic.com buyers' guides attempt to sort out the hype from the facts about acoustic instrument purchases. But Paul also keeps his hand in by continuing to write new songs, learning (and writing about) new instruments, and performing when opportunities arise.
BTW, we've gotten some questions about the little album cover thumbnail to the right of Paul's photo above. There's more information about the recordings it represents in our blog "About the song collection 'At the Heart of My Heart Was the Music'"
Thanks, and God bless,
Paul Race

Lots of Christmas Musings
Long before I started this blog (about music), I had a page on a Christmas site listing “musings,” which are short articles about our personal reactions to Christmas and related topics. If you’re in the mode for some Christmas readings, check out our FamilyChristmasOnline Musings page. Some musings that I…
Register Your Domain Name Now
Which is more: $17, $170, $1500, or $4000? What’s the difference? $17 is the approximate cost of registering the domain name for your name, your stage name, or your band name now. $170 is the approximate cost of registering your domain name and keeping it registered for ten years, just…
Songwriters: Don’t Be Stupid; Use the Right Words
Get someone who reads to look over your lyrics in case you’ve written something that can be taken the wrong way, or which doesn’t make sense. It’s one thing if the lyric is a deliberate pun or inversion of a cliche phrase (like “Head over Feet” or “Hard Day’s Night). …
Why the “Bump” in Banjo Discussions?
First of all you should know that I do not consider myself a “banjo player” per se. I am a songwriter/singer who occasionally uses guitar, banjo, bass, dulcimer, or piano to accompany himself and his friends. So if you invite me to bring my banjo to a party or gig,…
Beware of “Dumb Like a Fox” Instrument Sellers
If you’ve ever visited the saxophone section of my SchoolOfTheRock.com web page, you’d know that I love writing about vintage saxophones almost as much as I love playing them. I’m also a professional writer and researcher, so when I get a question from a reader, I can usually track down…
Getting the “Wrong” Banjo
When I wrote an article about “short-scale” and travel banjos for the Riverboat Music site, it got me thinking that I would like to have a 5-string that was as portable as my Martin Backpacker travel guitar. My Backpacker is 35″ long and just over 9″ wide at its widest…
“How Long Do You Expect To Live, Anyway”?
When I turned 59, a company I worked for in the 1980s started trying to “buy me out” of the itty bitty pension I accumulated between 1981 and 1984. I explained to the “financial counselor” who kept calling me that I had “done the math” and the value of the…
Re-Updated Music Web Page and Paying it Forward
If you checked my music web page a year ago, you probably wondered if I ever updated it. I’ve been keeping three separate pages about traditional and Americana music updated for years, but I haven’t been nearly as diligent about promoting my own songs. In the last several months, friends…
As a Creative Person, what if the Journey IS the Destination?
This is a response to a blog by Country songwriter Shantell Ogden, listing the “hard answers” to the questions that wannabes ask her most often. Her blog is here. I’m not “Country” by nature; I grew up as a folk singer, went into “Jesus music” (before “CCM” all started sounding…
Exiled Nigerian Prince to the Rescue
This is probably tasteless, but I get so many e-mail spams, scams, and phishing attempts, that I thought it would be fun to turn the tables on the spammers, scammers, and phishers, by publishing their emails and a not-so-helpful reply based on other spams, scams, and phishing attempts I get…
