Paul Race's Music Site Home Page
Coming from a family that loved all kinds of music, Paul learned
early to appreciate the Weavers, Romberg, Gershwin, Leadbelly, Basie,
Coltrane, and Seeger. He also learned to play much of that music, on
guitar, banjo, and saxophone. Later, he learned to love and play the
music of Peter, Paul, and Mary, Buffy St. Marie, Cat Stevens, Chicago,
BS&T, Rich Mullins, Larry Norman, Second Chapter of Acts, Jim Croce,
CS&N, and many others.
To the songs Paul learned from his heros, he added songs he wrote
himself. For decades, he performed them in just about any kind of
performance situation you can imagine - coffeehouses, festivals,
churches, schools, nightclubs, camps, street fairs - you name it.
Recently, Paul has focused more on helping other folks get and
stay involved in music. But folks who remember Paul's songs occasionally
ask him where his "artist" page is. So we're updating a site that Paul
first put together when he was "gigging" regularly and HTML was in its
infancy.
We are still adding links to new resources, on this and other sites. So Stay Tuned.
In the meantime, here are some of the resources we have so far:
- About - background information about Paul and his music.
- Music - information about and samples of Paul's music.
