Thanks! Thank you so much for your inspiration! I'm a 17-year-old girl and a junior in high school. I've played piano since 2nd grade and I sing in our school's advanced chorus. Your music and songs are wonderful! A friend introduced them to me and I fell in love instantly. I love all the expression and feeling you put into your music, and it inspired me to become more expressive in my playing and singing. Thank you so much! What you do is really awesome. You're a wonderful role model for any aspiring pianist. Thank you! :D Submitted By: Kristina

Thanks My husband and I are going to Sacramento tonight to see you in concert. Your music came into my life 12 years ago while I was a single mom raising 5 children.

Thank you for the beauty you have in your music God has given you a wonderful gift, and I'm so glad you have shared it with the world. Have a great day and I'll see you tonight.

I discovered your music. Jim, I hope you get this. I guess there is no age limit to your music. I was listening to the radio going up north when your song, Beautiful world, (we're all here) came on. That has to be the most beautiful song I've ever heard. I looked you up on the internet as I jotted down you name and here you are. You are a great singer/songwriter. Keep up the good work and I'm looking forward to buying your CD. Any furture tours in Minnesota? Thanks, Jeanette Submitted By: Jeanette Lytle

Thank You Jim, I just wanted to thank you for your gift of beautiful music!! I have been a fan of yours since the mid 90's (when I was still a teenager). I first saw you on Regis & Kathy Lee playing 'The Gift' with Collin Raye!! I thought it was the most beautiful song...both in music & in words. Your music brings me such comfort & peace...I just love it so much!! And as a fellow pianist, you inspire me to play more...God has truly blessed us with you & your talent...so thank you!! :-) And it's the 'Simple Things', such as the notes you play on the piano, that bring a smile to my face everytime I hear them!! I hope you come back to the Albany, NY area again very soon!! Submitted By: Jackie

Thank you Thank you Jim for sharing your remarkable gift with us. Some people are able to play the piano, however the piano is able to express its pure, beautiful emotions with you as its translator-you set the piano free. My perfect day consists of sitting on my back porch enjoying a good cup of coffee while reading a Nicholas Sparks book with Jim Brickman in my earphones. Priceless! If life could be lived to a soundtrack, I would hope it could be to your music. It would definitely be a better world. Thank you so much and I wish you all the best in the future!
