Hi. This is K. Sirrah. First I would like to thank everyone who has cast their vote for me. The love in this place is awesome! Second, as much as I would love to win the Korg D888, I just read Stan Graham’s reasons for wanting this incredible piece of gear. As a songwriter, I know what it means to have ideas you can’t capture because you don’t have access to the technology you need. When I read the specs on the Korg D888, it really struck me how complete this piece really is. I don’t want to sound like a commercial or anything, but it truly has everything a songwriter could ever want. With that said, I know that there are many struggling songwriters in the Yorkshire Songwriters Circle who could benefit tremendously from all that recording power. Therefore, in the name of Songwriting (and in the hopes of helping a kindred soul), I cast my vote for Stan Graham.
Jan 24, 2008/8:17 pmIf I was in it, I would win it hands down. I could make some of the tightest grooves with a Korg or any other workstation. I’m the best producer, bar none.
Jan 24, 2008/2:20 amI vote for Stan Graham. (No.5). As founder of the York Songwriters group he has been instrumental - no pun intended - in creating a supportive and stimulating circle within which local songwriters, myself included, can develop and express their talent. I know the Korg would be of benefit to us all in the creative process.
Jan 17, 2008/10:38 amI vote for Stan Graham (No. 5).
He’s helped me a lot with my songwriting and I know he’ll use the Korg to help many more budding songwriters.

Jan 17, 2008/5:58 amStan graham gets my vote - having worked with him on songwriting workshops and been inspired by his feedback to finish many of my unfinished scraps of songs. I know the Korg would be put to very good use. Stan is the Man
Jan 16, 2008/10:54 amI vote for Stan Graham- Blog 5,
it’s good to see someone with not only a talent for songwriting but a drive to bring and introduce music to everyone at differing levels. The work the Yorkshire Songwriters Circle does for people who are less fortunate than you or me is outstanding and a worth while winner of the Korg. Stan and the YSC would get my vote every time. Keep up the good work and good luck with the ‘York Live’ album.
Regards
Meg

I like the idea of songwriters coming together and sharing their ideas. It’s a great way to boost creativity and improve your skills and Stans looking to use the equipment in a community context which is a fine way to encourage fellow songwriters who may be just starting out.
Jan 15, 2008/12:20 pmI vote for Stan Graham.
He has a talent for songwiting, and clearly has a desire to share this with other enthusiasts. I am impressed with his community involvement and am certain he will use the Korg D888 to bring on fresh new talent.
Jan 15, 2008/11:50 amI vote for Stan Graham. He clearly has a passion for song writing and not only enjoys performing but helping others fulfil their potential.
The Yorkshire Songwriters Circle would be a worthwhile and very deserving recipient.
Jan 15, 2008/7:54 amI vote for Stan Graham. As someone with a genuine passion for supporting people in the craft of songwriting, he would ensure that the Korg D888 is put to the very best use by adding real value to the many ambitious songwriters in the Yorkshire area. Stan has already inspired many people to take up songwriting and has always worked hard to put something back into the local community. Winning the Korg D888 would be a great vote of confidence in the valuable work he is doing and would benefit a new generation of songwriters.

Jan 14, 2008/6:59 ami vote for #3 marcel anton… i would have really benefited from something like this as a child. korg should donate a few of these to programs like this if they can !
Jan 11, 2008/3:04 pmMy vote goes fot Tex Chertoff - finalist #2. I know there are many great musicians & songwriters on this site. I have had the privilege of listening to & meeting many of them. However, Tex & his band The Kingpins were one of the 1st artists that really captured my heart1 Just listen to that guitarist wail & you’ll know what I mean. The most wonderful thing about meeting Tex though is his commuication -not only in the music he records either. Tex will give you a beautifuly detailedl background picture of the artists - who they are & where they came from, which truly brings you into their world. It is apparent that he has alot to say & enjoys other peoples music as much as his own. I know he will put this Korg to wonderful use that will benefit many artists & listeners alike. He has a unique abiliy and an enthusiasm for artists & songwriters that covers many generations & genres. He helps preserve music from his hometown community along with unitng musicians around the world to write & play together. I have the utmost respect for his talent and passion for songwriters, musicians & listeners.
Jan 11, 2008/2:53 pmK Sirrah has my vote. #1
Jan 10, 2008/9:20 pmShe will make that Korg sing a beautiful song.
