  1. COPYRIGHT-If You Wrote it-If You Created it-COPYRIGHT IT! Don’t wind up like I did. Read my story>>> You know, I agree that Chuck Cannon is one mighty fine songwriter, but, one thing is for sure, he & Toby Keith did not write my song “How Do You Like Me Now” I wrote the song in 1978 and gave it to Toby Keith in a bar in Victorville, California back in 1993 when Toby had just completed recording with Mercury Records his Should’ve Been A Cowboy album. I played the song for Toby on his own guitar while the band was on break and waited till after the next set and break at Toby’s request to play it for him again so I did and I wrote the lyrics on a bar napkin and told Toby it should have a sort of Doobie Brothers Listen to the Music sort of arrangement which I am sure that Chuck probably supplied that arrangement and licks. It is my opinion that Toby Keith probably brought my song “How Do You Like Me Now” to Chuck to help Toby get the song ready for recording and so the two of them polished up my song and Toby never told Chuck the actual origin of the song. I am in no way trying to defame Chuck, I believe in the beginning he was innocent especially since he was once the president of the NSAI which I am a former member, the Nashville Songwriters Association is a multi purpose org and one of it’s missions is to help songwriters protect their songs, right Chuck. I did not have copyright protection on my song when I gave it to Toby Keith that night so Toby slapped his own copyright on it but that still does not set aside the truth and the fact that I wrote the original song “How Do You Like Me Now” I have contacted Toby’s label and they shine me on knowing I don’t have that copyright. You know, integrity is one thing that is set aside by some in the music business and there are a few who think honesty doesn’t mean anything once you pockets are full enough to walk all over those little people who are actually the real creators of a lot of the material we all listen to today. I hope and pray that none of you songwriters out there ever get dooped like this, remember, always copyright, just go to the Library of Congress site on the internet for details in case you don’t know how to copyright. Oh yea, just in case anyone wants to go to court over this, I’d love to get Toby’s word under oath that he wrote my song, then we can see just how that goes. Peace, CBW
