About
This podcast features original music by people who do not do music as a career, but nevertheless have something special that really should be heard.
Hosting with me (Clayton) at times are Skye, Chris, and Courtney. Skye and Courtney and I are musicians ourselves with families and non-music jobs. We are all siblings. Chris is a brother from another mother, he also has a family, and brings a non-musician perspective to the podcast. Skye and Courtney live in Oregon, and Chris and I live in Kansas.

Enjoy.

A lot of good work you’re doing here. I’m sincerely impressed. My Uncle John told me about this site a while back and I tried unsuccessfully to get a hold of y’all (I think I got the email address wrong). We’re always looking for reviewers and interviewers at Linescratchers. Our podcast isn’t as frequent as yours, it seems, but I have quite a library of music sent to me personally by dozens of artists. Let me know if I can do anything for you!
Syphax,
If you can still hear me, what you can do for me is recommend someone you’ve encountered through your work who would be a great candidate for Should Be Famous. Wholesomeness is a consideration, I might mention. Hope things are going well!
I listened to you guys (the Pixton family) sing and play music together back in the late ’80s when I was about 12 years old. I can still remember “Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy of Company B.” This experience served as motivation for me to start singing at church and to learn an instrument. Several years later, my wife and I attended a concert put on by a few families at BYU under the Watkins Endowment for Music in the Home. We decided this was something we wanted to do with our children. We’re now all working towards playing bluegrass instruments together in a family band! Thank you for your examples.
That’s cool! And I love bluegrass. Thanks for sharing your story.
