President of East Texas Company Releases “Average
Joes” Song on YouTube
TYLER, Texas (Business Wire EON/PRWEB ) October 25, 2008 --
Clay Clemmer, President of Granite Division, Inc. (GDI) in Tyler, Texas
is showing his patriotic colors by releasing a song he wrote called Average
Joes. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s6V_I9kUyQ8
In 1994, Clemmer wrote the song while serving in the Merchant Marines.
He resurrected the lyrics and recorded audio and video at Robin Hood
Studios in Tyler this past week.
“This is what I believe America needs to
hear from an Average
Joe, just like our plumber buddy,”
says Clemmer. “I own a business. I do not
make $250,000 a year, not even close. I have had up to 50 plus employees
and I have done everything possible to keep my word of giving my
employees a minimum of 40 hours a week. I don't have health insurance;
my kids get clothes from Wal-Mart and J.C.Penney’s.
My wife is an aid for the school district knocking down a whopping
$1,050 a month take home. I provide a service for America by providing
jobs for those who really want to work and enjoy doing it. We work and
live within our means and don’t expect any
handouts or bailouts from the government or anyone else.”
Clemmer is an inventor who developed a process for the manufacture of
granite surfaces utilizing granite and marble 12”x12”
tile. He has received two U.S. patents with three more pending. GDI’s
manufacturing facilities burned on June 9, 2008 but the employees teamed
together to get the business back on its feet in two days, manufacturing
its’ patented GraniteLoc products in a nearby
facility and selling marble slabs under the trees in the back of their
property.
Clemmer began his work with natural stone in his family’s
monument shop when he was 14. His singing/songwriting skills took wings
during his time in the Merchant Marines. The partnership which produced
GDI began with a chance meeting at a gas station on I-20 near Dallas. In
addition to his work with homes and businesses, his handiwork can be
seen in a courthouse in Johnson County, numerous Catholic churches and a “Welcome
to Texas” sign on I-40. www.granitedivision.com
