“My Rainbow Race” - Pete

My Rainbow Race / Pete Seeger / Pete / Track 2

“My Rainbow Race” was written by Pete in a Hollywood motel, on his return from a tour in Japan. He was leafing through a magazine, and came across a song contest advertisement. He wrote this song on the form and mailed it in, but never heard back about it. Seeger said of this experience “Never heard back from them. But I won a prize -a song I’ve sung ever since.”
