Thank you for visiting!
I'm a piano player named Allen James Teague. I enjoy writing music and stories and drinking coffee. I like conversations too when I can find them...
The following videos are quite new and I hope you enjoy them :)

I am quite fond of ballet choreographers and ballet dancers, stage actors and stage writers and some classical musicians.I also like harlequins (even though there really are not very many of them out there), jugglers, tightrope walkers, flying trapeze artists, stage managers and a few administratively inclined people that are adept at talking to all of the above and still know how to communicate with normal people.
"Prelude in E-minor" is one of my top three favorite piano pieces to play. I started many concerts with this piece and it seems like a good way to start an evening. I have written a few more parts that seem to fit nicely and have recently been thinking about visiting a larger piano with good German steel strings to record the updates with a few timing changes here and there allowing longer swells and crescendos. I have broken quite a few strings over the years on this piece along with "Temptation of Saint Anthony".
"when we were kings" is an enjoyable piece that I hope to perform with Celtic dance... Brave really :) I wrote it based on a poem by an old friend Dennis Joern. Dennis is a fun songwriter and a virtuoso pen and ink artist (www.brothersjoern.com)
Portrait is a piece I wrote as part of a theatrical/ballet work I was writing with an old friend named Bradley Stefan Taylor several years ago over coffee.
I wrote "Bittersweet Reprise" from half ideas I had gathered while adding different parts here and there to Bittersweet. I was performing with a flutist off and on when I recorded this and it seemed enjoyable to record one afternoon at the Cutter Theater and then I recorded flute by Dana Weir from Portland, Oregon in Ezekiel Kelly's living room.
"Rhapsody" is a fun little piece that I wrote a few years ago that I have enjoyed playing in concerts here and there and look forward to playing in the future.
