  2. I remember something interesting all those years ago when John Phillips appeared on the Mike Douglas Show ( of all things .... ) Mike Douglas asked how many songs Phillips had written but not yet published ? Copyrighted ? Phillips said like, 1000 ... but before he could do anything with them, he had to record them HIMSELF ?? ( a requirement, I guess ..... ) As I had friends who were in local bands who also wrote their own stuff ....

    I never knew you had to record before you could protect and presumably sell the song to others to record ???

  3. I would be interested to hear about a M&P documentary that was a "How the Music Was Made" format that also featured the Beach Boys and Burt Bacharach with Dionne Warwick in separate presentations of the same series for Public Television.
