If I were a Carpenter by Tim Hardin

Submitted by: Elizabeth W.

This track is performed by my husband Chris (guitar and vocals) and myself on keyboard providing strings and percussion . Chris recorded us using Cubase.

During lockdown we have been able to spend quite a bit of time recording songs which we have previously worked on and performed, but never made a permanent copy of. Although we have been married for over 30 years, we only came to making music together ten years ago, even though we had both performed separately – Chris in the field of popular music and myself as a classical pianist.

This song is a reminder of this productive and happy time for us and the words are particularly poignant for us in the way we met and started our life together.
