Yes that was formed later. When I worked in the office at country clubs, hotels and restaurants that had live music offered, I always made sure that we were registered with all three of them. That way no matter what songs the performers played, we were covered and couldn't be sued for copyright infringement.

>The single version Wow, I thought that went the way of the Dodo. They played that version on our Merv Griffin appearance, and we messed up the lip sync. The local oldies station now plays stuff from the 70s, and they do play the damn single version.

Yeah, it was great meeting Burt Bacharach. He was with Carol Bayer Sager then, and she was there too. At the time, Hal David (Burt's lyricist for the golden years of his career) was the head of ASCAP, my performance society for songwriters and publishers, who sends out statements and checks periodically. After the introductions and the obligatory "not worthy," I asked Burt if he ever hears from Hal David, he said no, not lately. I said "I get a letter from him occasionally." Not sure if he understood the joke. The current head of ASCAP is Paul Williams, another short guy song writer. I get letters from him now. I think he wrote “Out In The Country”, one of my fave songs.

My fave Three Dog Night tune. Same. They covered it so much better than the original. I never tire of it.
