Mick!

The Courier-Journal's Dale Moss profiles Michael "Mick" Neely, former Floyd Central music teacher, and one of the single most influential persons during my high school years.

Floyd choir leader Michael Neely cannot stop teaching

... Neely is also described as lovable, a never-at-a-loss storyteller, a salt-of-the-earth type just as comfortable with a chainsaw as he is with a keyboard. He coached sports as well as directed choirs; little wonder he runs into thankful people wherever he goes.
I'm certainly one of these thankful people.

Good old Mr. Neely--he was a great teacher and choir director. I had lots of fun in his classes.
