Although this question is a “no-brainer” for many Christian musicians, many others struggle with it, especially folks who came up through legalistic systems that label anything that isn’t distinctly ”Christian” as “of the devil.” I don’t have a “one-size-fits-all” answer to that question, but I have some observations and experiences that might be helpful.

About Paul
Paul Race has been writing and playing all kinds of music since the 1960s, especially favoring traditional songs and sounds. He still writes songs, gives concerts, and does clinics to promote traditional instruments. He also creates web resources like CreekDontRise.com, HarpersGuild.com. and ClassicTrainSongs.com, to help other musicians get a good start on their own journeys.
Camps, festivals, house concerts, Paul has played them all, and will be glad to play more if you want traditionally-inspired acoustic music at your event.
