Steve and I met through our mutual attorney. I was looking for a
vocalist and Steve was looking for a recording situation. We met at our
attorney's office and hit it off pretty well. Steve came over to my
apartment and I showed him a lot of songs I had written. Including a
song called "Anyway You Want It" and "Dreams Reality". We also recorded
"Dreams Reality" and I amended the copyright to include him as a form of
payment/appreciation. We renamed "Dreams Reality" to "Stronger And
Stronger". The master of this song was stolen from me, but I have a bad
copy somewhere. We hung out for a few weeks and even saw an Al Pacino
movie together. I think it was "All the President's Men" or something
similar. One day he introduced me to his friend Steve Smith, a
jazz/rock drummer. Steve Smith's apartment was so small, he barely had
room for his drums and a small bed.
I had written the music for "It's Over" a few weeks before Steve and
I met and one afternoon we put the words together. We both agreed it
was hot, so it was one of the two songs we decided to record. I
arranged for the studio time, rehearsed the rhythm section, and we cut
the tracks a week later. The session went very smooth and Steve did a
great job.
Note: The song, "It's Over" is available on Forrest's debut CD called "I Need You". You can purchase a copy of the cd from his website at http://members.aol.com/rockmez/index.html
