TAFT wrote a love song titled ‘Earlier’ for our wedding back in May 2002. Freddie and I have often ruminated on how great it would have been if only we had met earlier in life… imagine the possibilities!
He recently decided to run the song through the Tanester music machine and develop it further. This latest version of ‘Earlier’ has been an adventure in collaboration within the Tanester group, with TAFT at the helm, Ralph Sacco and I co-producing, and with all the players ideas heard and noted.
We hope you enjoy this special song!
