About Me

  • About Clough
    Location
    Rock Island, IL
    Experience
    Have been involved in music and fine arts type activities for a long time, especially the performing arts. Grew up working with my dad on apartments that he and my mom owned. My dad and his brothers were home builders. So, I learned a few things along the way about building and also maintaining homes. Have lived and maintained things in my, very old home, for 19 years.

    An actor or musician in over 45 musical theater productions. Taught music and fine arts/cultural awareness type courses in public and private schools for many years to all age groups, pre-school through college level students. Am a multi-instrumentalist as well as singer. Have been involved in all facets of music ministry in Christian churches for over 36 years. These have involved adult and children's choir programs, handbells, handchimes, organ and piano as well as creating, writing and directing musicals in which church members might participate in various ways.

    Have played various instruments in concert bands, orchestras and chamber groups. Currently play string bass and percussion and piano with the Quad City Wind Ensemble, which is like the local symphony, except that it's a concert band. And, am director for as well as sing in the local chapter of the men's barbershop singing group on the Illinois side of the river in the Quad Cities. It's called the Bend of the River Chorus Also compose, improvise and arrange instrumental as well as vocal music.

    Being involved with a number of small businesses that I run, I have learned much about utilizing the Internet as an advertising tool and also ways that work in order to promote a business to the general public. Currently do the advertising on the Internet for my own businesses as well as for a number of ministries in my area and the Quad City Wind Ensemble.

    Also have been a piano tuner/technician since 1974. Have tuned, rebuilt and refinished many pianos since starting in that profession.

    Hobbies

    Am an avid vegetable and flower gardener. Have been the secretary and also president for the local horticulture club where I live. Have successfully completed the course to be a Master Gardener. I also love to make and decorate simple folk musical instruments as well as refinish furniture.

    Philosophy About Life

    A good part of what life is about is making choices, dealing with the cards that one has been dealt and also weighing the costs as compared to the benefits concerning the choices that we make.

    General Areas of Expertise if One Might Want to Know

    Music and Performing Arts/Fine Arts Specialist, Business Development, Advertising and Promotion, Home Repair and Maintainance

    The more that I think that I know, the more I realize that there is so much more that I don't know. I am learning a lot from this site about the things that I don't know. It has been both a fulfilling as well as a humbling experience being a part of this site.
    Occupation
    Perpetual student of life. I have as of yet to graduate. Too much yet to learn. Dad and friend.
