To make sure he enjoyed the credit, though, Rogers called him from the stage, held up his phone and asked the crowd to shout out \u201cWe love you, Derek!\u201d which it dutifully did.The celebration was jointly sponsored by ASCAP and BMI, the two major performance rights organizations. Eshuis and Rogers are ASCAP affiliates; McCreery is signed to BMI.<\/p>\n<p>While waiting for the writers to take the stage, the partygoers feasted on Mexican-themed delicacies arrayed on a large round table that sat within a few steps of the bar, which was kept busy dispensing wine, beer and soft drinks.<\/p>\n<p>ASCAP\u2019s Evyn Mustoe noted that \u201cThis Is It\u201d is Eshuis\u2019 first No. 1, both as a writer and producer, and that it\u2019s Rogers\u2019 sixth as a writer and 41st as producer.
