within a month, eddie, buddy and bill were conducting the group's first organizational meeting at the old professional's club on music row. the meeting attracted some 40 songwriters, including liz & casey anderson ("the fugitive"), felice & boudleaux bryant ("wake up little susie"), kris kristofferson ("me and bobby mcgee") and marijohn wilkin ("one day at a time"). those 40—more than half the songwriters in town at that time—became the founding membership of nsai and began spending countless hours around marijohn's kitchen table brainstorming, discussing and refining ideas.
