Lemon Stevie by The Harp Seals
I needed a couple songs to test out a new (used) 8-track recorder that I bought for Freddie, and these songs were the first ones I opened to in my book of horrors.
Lemon Bars Entry imagines a kindly teenage baked sweet treat working as a night watchman in a cherry orchard, on acid.
My friend Walter wrote the words for Stevie Wonder's Fingertips--suggested, perhaps, by the fact that the song of the same name was the #1 single on the day I was born. The 12" version is way too long, so I made a fade-out 7" version.
