Album Notes

January 2004, IL - Allegra Rosenberg and Talia Wertico, Illinois' newest and youngest singing sensations, have just released their first CD, "Songs for the Swing Set." It features eight original songs written by these two multi-talented eight-year-old girls. Talia and Allegra are both second graders.

They wrote the songs last summer while playing on the tire swing at summer camp. The original compositions highlight puppies, love, and the seasons. It includes such charmers as "Summer Fun", "Golden Brown" and the soon to be classic, "I Love You Everywhere I Go". 



"I guess we just got tired of hearing all these kid's records by adults. We wanted to hear some songs written by kids, but we couldn't find any, so we wrote some ourselves" said Rosenberg. Wertico added "our parents are always doing this kind of thing so we wanted to do it too." 



Allegra and Talia have been best friends even before they were born. Their moms met while they were both pregnant. Born two days apart, they've been creative partners ever since. The CD was produced by Allegra's dad, musician and producer Stuart Rosenberg and Talia's mom and dad, also professional musicians and composers, Barb and Paul Wertico (a seven-time Grammy Award winner). Everyone had lots of fun making it, including Allegra's mom, Rachel Rosenberg, the project coordinator and Allegra's brother, Theo.


Allegra's favorite things are: Harry Potter, playing on the computer, ice-skating, swimming and hanging out with friends. 


Talia's favorite things are ice-skating, science experiments, drawing, traveling and playing with her dog Rocky, who makes a cameo appearance on the album.
