I answered a few questions for the music blog site “Beneath the Sheets” and the interview is up and posted on their site. Check it out by clicking here.

My wife and I have a special place in our hearts for animals and especially the ones who are in need of a loving home. We rescued a Westie a little over two years ago and it was the greatest decision we have ever made. I got an email from a couple who does a lot of fostering of animals and helps out with an animal rescue league in Indiana. They decided to put up a video using my song “Since Forever” as the background music. I’m very much appreciative of them supporting my work so I wanted to post their video and also urge those of you who are looking for a pet to check out the animal rescue leagues in your area and take a look at petfinder.com.

Recently a film student named Kathryn Metner contacted me and asked me if I would mind if she used my song “What About Me” for a music video project she was working on. I gladly agreed and this video is what she came up with. Make sure to check out her other works at youtube.com/boundaryfences11.

Nick Motil is a singer/songwriter who has been touring the country playing college shows for the past few years.  He stumbled across my music and decided to take a shot at covering my song “What About Me.”  Here is his version!  Check him out at www.nickmotil.com or youtube.com/nickmotil

I had 12 correct responses for the trivia contest so thank you to all who have played.  The correct answer was, iPod Touch.  After placing those names into a hat and drawing, I reached in and found the winner to be Fern Sweeney.  She will be sent a signed CD of my album “Reverie.”  Don’t forget that you can now download this album online by visiting ryanknorr.bandcamp.com or you can purchase a hard copy by visiting the “store” link at the top of my site.  I can sign those too if you would like.  Thanks again for playing!

In honor of one million views on youtube I decided to do a trivia contest.  The prize of this contest will be a signed CD from myself of my first album, “Reverie.”  This is how it will work.  I am going to ask the question below and then would like you to send your response to me at my email address which is:

If you have the correct answer, I will enter you into the winner’s group and will be drawing out of a hat later this weekend.  Good luck and I hope that the question isn’t extremely difficult, but will still make you think a bit.  Here it is:

A couple of times I  have mentioned a specific device that I use to jot down my lyrics and other notes.  What is the name of that device?

Again send you responses to ryanknorr@gmail.com and Good Luck!

12/6/09 will be the day marked down for one million total video views on youtube. It’s an accomplishment I never thought I would reach when I started posting videos and I am excited to see how many more people we can reach with the music. I appreciate the support from everyone who has watched a video, commented, or sent me a personal message. Keep it coming and I will continue to work to create the best music that I can.
