The first song I registered a song with SOCAN was on April 15, 1977 – and with any luck none of us will ever have to listen to that song. To date I have 76 songs registered with SOCAN. Many of them are theatre, soundtrack or radio songs. Some are comic satire and some are pieces for dance. Some are just plain old songs I wrote. (find more of Grant’s songs here)<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n
