about

Originally released as LMM issue 2.1
LearningMusicMonthly.com
original liner notes:


Well, it’s here. The first album of the new Learning Music Monthly series. I think Ben White’s cover art says it all.

Myths about LMM 2.1:

* The name of the album is Allegro, in reference to the common first movement of a sonata. Some of the songs attempt to follow a sonata-allegro form, especially track one.
* I wrote much of the material while sitting on the couch watching TV, yamaha pss 460 on my lap. The first lyric of “Short Tempered” came from a sitcom. (Also shout-out to Huell Howser)
* Track two borrows story and some lyrics from an old traditional folk song.
* Musical contributors are Oscar Schedin (guitar) Sam Robles (saxophones), Max Markowitz (trumpet), Damon Zick (woodwinds), Mike Richardson (trombone), Devin McNulty (co-writer), Lisa Tremain (co-writer), and the Notorious OCD (rhymes on track five).
* This is the first Learning Music album to feature trombone.
* if you play track eight backwards it says “change we can believe in”
