Some of you may know that I managed Steve from 1983-1986, a period in which he recorded for Epic Records, then MCA and signed a new publishing deal with Silverline/Goldline Music, then owned by the Oak Ridge Boys and run by Noel Fox, a former Oak who decided lo be a music exec rather than a performer. Steve and I parted ways just before GUITAR TOWN was released; it was not an amicable parting, in fact I was a mite peeved and sued to recover expenses and deferred commissions. This was resolved out of court, we agreed on a sum he was to pay and he did, in fact, he paid it off early.
