Thank you!!! I first was introduced to you by a boyfriend 14 years ago with "No Words". We went to the Palace Theatre (I think it was that one) and discovered not only were you a fabulous romantic piano sensation but had a great sense of humor as well. I had no idea that I was around your music when I was young with "Every 19 minutes...the place goes crazy!!". I introduced my new boyfriend who became my husband to your music. We were given tickets to your concert for our wedding and have seen you several times since. The greatest part of your music, though, is that it reminds me of when I was having my four boys. I listened to your music during labor (!) and after for relaxation!!! From one Shaker Heights native to another, thank you for all of your music and collaborations with such singers as Martina McBride, Donny Osmond, Michael W Smith, and of course, Anne Cochran. Thank you!!!!! Submitted By: ellen

Anniversary messge I have been a fan since the beginning, 1994. The cd that really got me to start listening and getting hooked, was the "Picture This" and is still one of my favorites. As a Chrstian, I am enjoying even more of the recent music tracks that you have produced and played with many talented singers and performers. Not just for the romantic part, which is important to many couples, but us singles enjoy the sirene sound of relaxation after a hard day at work or just a pick me up. Remembering that everyday is a gift of God and what better way than through music. The right music can touch anybody, anywhere, because there are no boundries to what can inspire a person in life. So Thank You and Your supporting family and friends for 15yrs of using the talent God gave and using it to His Glory. You will never completely know who you have helped but others see and never stop giving of yourself as God sees. Many Blessings through Christ, Maria G Derrico Submitted By: Maria Derrico

THANK YOU FOR YOUR MUSIC Congratulations on 15 yrs Jim. My husband and I were priviledged to see your show 2 yrs in a row in Charlottesville VA. (2006 & 2007) I had listened to your radio show and loved what I heard. You did your Romantic show and it was just wonderful. We held hands the whole time and were mesmirized by your music (and Ms. Cochran). Your music says so much love. Valentine is one of our favorites. My Jim and I were married in 1962 and always have been so very much in love. We were always working very hard and little time to just sit and hold hands and connect in that special way. My beloved passed away this year with pancreatic cancer and I will never forget being in the audience with him, holding hands, renewing our love for each other listening to your music. Never Alone now has another meaning for me. Listen to much of your music from my point of view. I am now alone here, but our love is forever and I am not alone since he is so much a part of me and I believe he is in Heaven wat

Thank You, Jim! The first time I ever saw/heard you was on our local NBC station - WGAL TV8 -out of Lancaster, Pa.; The show was called "12:30 Live." I absolutely fell in love with your music back then and have loved every piece of it since that time. When I met my current husband eight years ago, we were listening to music at his place and all of a sudden "Destiny" started playing. He and I had the same taste in music! We saw you at the American Music Theater in Lancaster, Pa., and went on one of your cruises for our honeymoon (1 year after we were married). Finances have kept us from being able to go since, but we are so looking forward to seeing you perform in Hershey on Dec. 21. Thank you for your awesome talent and music. May God continue to bless you richly. Submitted By: Anita Williams

Thank you for sharing your gift I can still remember sitting in my dorm room and hearing "Valentine" on the radio for the first time. Needless to say, I bought the "Picture This" CD that very evening and have been a fan ever since! Your music has brought such inspiration to my life. And now as I prepare to face what could be the scariest ordeal of my life, I turn to your music once again for strength and comfort. Jim, thank you for sharing your gift. It truly would be "chocolate cake without the icing" without your music in my life. Thank you and God Bless. Submitted By: Judy DeWitt

thank you Jim, Happy 15 years! I have been listening to you for at least that long, and, enjoying every sound and note that comes from you. Your music is my yoga, my blood pressure medicine, my zen and, if I can be so bold to say, my sanity! When I go through life's storms, you are my calm. I cannot thank you enough for always "being there" when I need you. Keep creating your wonderful music! With much love and gratitude, Kim Sankowski Submitted By: Kim Sankowski

Jim Brickman's Sensational Music My husband had introduced me to Jim Brickman's music almost 3 years ago. From the day I met my husband to today, Jim Brickman music is part of our lives. My husband played one of his songs when he proposed. Also, when we were married in Nov. 2008, every song for our ceremony was a Jim Brickman instrumental piece or a song. During the lighting of the our Family Unity Candle, we played Never Alone. Thank you Jim Brickman for being a part of our lives. Submitted By: Belinda Hurst

Love Your Music I wanted to pass on my thanks for providing some really enchanted, relaxing, and loving music. Both my wife and I attended a New Year's eve concert in 2008 and we still talk about how moving your concert was. Every Sunday morning we listen to one of your CD's. I think we have all of them. Thank you for providing great music. We are looking forward to attending another concert soon. Submitted By: Dan Lettieri

Thanks Jim, Since I first heard one of your songs and after these many years, I must take the time to thank you for the "Beautiful World" you've made for me. Your music is positive and graceful, forceful and soulful and I cannot imagine my world without your music. In times of reflection and times of silence, your music is a means of connection to things around me. Submitted By: Pat Anderson
