My father, George Willis "Bill" Kellington, sang in the Portland Metropolitan opera as a young adult.  He used to sing, Danny Boy to me when I was a wee tad.  My mother sang on the radio starting at about 4 years of age.  I remember enjoying singing with my mother while we did the dinner dishes.  I have always loved music and my main influences were the popular songsters of the 50s and 60s.   I started playing the guitar at around age 20.  I should have had lessons.  My wife, Sharon, taught me basic chords and I learned some more  after that.  I've been writing my own songs since 2003 and I am thoroughly enjoying the process.   I still have my day job practicing law, but if time would permit I would be making music all the time.

     My favorite music site is Soundcloud because it enables comments and reposting and the ability to hear innovative, magnificent and magical, productions of brilliant independent musicians from around the globe. 
                                                           *     *     *
     I have a home studio with a couple of Yamaha guitars, and a Yamaha MX49  keyboard.  I use AKG mics and Sonar software.  I like to get a lyrics idea, select guitar chords, then prepare lead sheets.  As I play and sing the tentative song, improvements in the rhythm, lyrics and melody almost suggest themselves.  
                                                            *     *     *
     For me, a song is a project.  It can nearly always be improved with the passage of some time and replaying and singing.   With a melody in my head, I practice singing the song.  Adjustments to clarify the meanings of lyrics also suggest adjustments in the rhythm and the melody.  When I have an acceptable guitar and vocal track recorded, I can then add bass, percussion and other instrument tracks.  Finally, I can add backup vocals or whistling, or both.   I have about a dozen songs in process at any given time.  I will let the songs in progress settle in for a few days or weeks or months.  If I seem to be stuck on a particular song I will leave it for a while and get back to singing it.  Fresh ideas or approach come easier then and usually I get unstuck.  
                                                            *     *     *
     I find I have to be careful that I not over correct.  Sometimes I'll find that a betterment wasn't really a betterment over time and I'll go back and resurrect the older lyric that then seems superior.  
                                                            *     *     *
     My dream is to produce songs that have the power to move the emotions.  I find my songs are better if in the process I am moved to tears myself and unless I am moved by the sentiment of a song I don't consider it finished or acceptable.  I have to really feel what I am writing/singing.  I hope you like my music and I would be delighted if it moved you five degrees. ;-)
