SOCAN:
SOCAN is proud to announce the launch of the ECHO Songwriting Prize and the Prix de la chanson ECHO, which are set to highlight and celebrate the songwriting talents of some of the best independent, up-and-coming Anglophone and Francophone songwriters in Canada.
What it is: The Echo Songwriting Prize is designed to put the spotlight on some of this country?s up-and-coming songwriters who might not otherwise receive recognition for their work at this point in their careers. It's also a unique opportunity for SOCAN to introduce itself to future members. Our members are of the utmost importance to us and we continually look to new initiatives to enhance the services we offer them.
How it works: Two independent panels each made up of eight (8) of the nation's top music community tastemakers, representing various regions of the country and facilitating one another's exposure to a diverse collection of musical genres, nominated a total of 24 songs related to each prize.
Once the nomination process was complete, the panelists reviewed each of the nominated songs and, using a point-value system, determined the five songs for each prize that will be voted on by the public. The public is then able to listen to the songs and vote for their favourite at http://www.socan.ca/
SOCAN invites you to (meet the nominees and) cast your vote for your favourite song by logging onto http://www.socan.ca/

I guess by now you've all heard about the guy who held 100 accordion players hostage and, unless he was given $10,000,000, threatened to release one an hour.
Why are trombone players better lovers? Well, trumpet players do it with three fingers, baritone players do it with four fingers, but trombone players do it in seven positions!
What is the difference between a musician and a savings bond? Eventually the bond will mature and earn money.
