About Me

It's just me. Mike Clement. I'm not much of a self promoter. I like doing what I do and if you're listening I hope you like it too. The way I see it, people spend so much of their time doing things for other people that they need something that is all their own that they can just immerse themselves in and forget about everything else. For some people, it's working on cars or collecting things. For me, it's music. I figure if I like it and can lose myself in it, maybe other people can, too.As far as the other stuff goes, I'm in my 30s. I grew up in a small town in Michigan and I've lived in LA and Phoenix. I've settled in West Virginia with my family. I've been doing this (music) off and on since college. During the day I am a high school English teacher and I really enjoy it.Thanks for stopping by.
