After about a dozen takes this was the best I could do and i STILL managed to mangle the final verse, nevertheless hopefully it still conveys the love I have for my dear friend Grant. Happy 50th to you Grant, long may you run.

The Ballad of Grant Potter
Well he came from down-east, by way of the North
Via China and when we met him in PG
A teacher with a plan, he came to lead our band
Blow our minds and teach us harmony

His mind is fantastic, his soul enthusiastic / And man can that boy play
With style beyond compare, not to mention that hair
For Grant Potter we give thanks today

If you want to get on air, #ds106 for life, 
you know Hank Soda’s your man
He really does dig it, pirate radio’s his bidness
And the ocassional hallu-cinogen

Never bombastic, often iconoclastic / He’s kind of a protege
From growing flowers for his mom  to playing bass in bars
For Grant Potter we give thanks today

If there’s fun to be whether keyboard or keypad
He’s the leader of the hullabaloo
Ladies I’d say he’s quite a catch, As a dad he has no match,   
Well I kinda wish he was my dad too

His mind is fantastic, his soul enthusiastic / And man can that boy play
With style beyond compare, not to mention that hair
For Grant Potter we give thanks today

So now you’ve heard the tale of this man we call our friend, 
And I hope it sure did convey
How grateful we all are, so sing it loud and far 
For Grant Potter we give thanks today
For Grant Potter….on this…your special day
