Quote form Hawthorne "This song was written and composed by an amazing man from Pasadena named Steve Salazar. He was born with a heart condition and passed away at the young age of 27. Before he died he recorded one incredible album of demos in the mid-70s with a band called Shorty’s Portion. Peanut Butter Wolf found a copy of the album and I loved it so much that he gave it to me (thanks Wolf!). "
@berzerkrobot Beautiful song and version, BUT according to a post about the Shorty's Portion album by a guy who knew the band, "Fantasy Child" was neither composed nor performed by Salazar. Rather, it's attributed to a "D. Layne" who was apparently a USC music composition student in 1975. See the post at recordrobot.blogspot.com
@A1Style2 I know a girl, whose head is in a twirl. She has her own lovely little world. And 'cause she likes me I get to look inside. And when I do the things I see. Like trips to Spain and houses in the trees. Makes me wish that my mind was just as free. So baby, I know it's fun to play. Let your thoughts drift away. Dreamer. That's what you are. Schemer. You've run a little too far. You say you love Betthoven before we (The rest I can't figure out) (To be continued)
@SineMunch@A1Style2 ..made him a star. Dreamer, it's been much too long. Schemer. Since he came along. There's no sense in wishing that Beethoven would write you a song. So baby, I know it's fun to play. And let your thoughts drift away. So baby I know it's fun to play and let your thoughts drift away. I know a girl whose head is in a twirl. She has her own lovely little world. And 'cause she likes me, I get to look inside.

@SineMunch It's " You say you love Betthoven before we made him a star." Which is such an awesome line.
