Clayton Counts, RIP
Clayton Counts passed away on Christmas Eve outside of Jamestown, Colorado. He was a vivacious, passionate, intelligent, caring person, and he loved to make others laugh. At his request, several of his friends will continue to update this blog semi-regularly. If you would like to contribute music, please email us by clicking here. Clayton had many close friends, and his passing comes as a shock to all who knew him. For the past few months, he’d been co-producing the debut album by Jefferson Slaveship, a space rock band he also played guitar for. Some of that record will be posted here, along with odds and ends from Clayton’s career as a musician, producer, author, journalist, graphic artist, humorist, activist, and prankster. The collection below was his final contribution to the 365 Days Project, by a brother and sister duo called the Death Killers. The vocalist is a six year old girl named Ally, and the music was made by her older brother. Clayton was cremated, and there are no plans for a public memorial service. For those who knew him, please celebrate his life in a meaningful way by making a donation to the charitable organization of your choice, and remember him for the happiness he brought to so many. We will miss you, Clayton. Love always, Grace, Tim, Beth, Steve, Chris, Olivia, Neil, and others.
