NOTES ON THE RECORDING:
This was the very last song of the six days I recorded NEXT at Imaginary Road (Will's studio), and it happened, beginning to end, in about an hour...

We were at the very end of the last day - and Will grabs his guitar and says "well, this might be something"...and proceeds to play the beautiful guitar tracks we captured for this song.

Will leaves the room after he tracks - he won't sit there as it's edited - and after we edited the song into place, we set up a mic for me, (we'd already changed the room configuration and had moved Imaginary Road's Steinway B back into the main room) - and I wrote the horn melody as I played it and Tom Eaton recorded it...in ONE TAKE, straight through on 99% of what you hear.
I wanted to change it, and Tom said - NO...it was SO fast, and SO perfectly easy...Will came back in, we tweaked a few note placements and we were done..

I love this song, now added to my "dream come true " series of recordings - recordings with just me and Will - we've done four now: At Last, Released, On One Knee and now And We Dance.

I am grateful...
