Never Alone This song has such special meaning to me. I work closely with Relay for Life which is a fundraiser and event for those facing cancer. We have adopted Never Alone as our theme song for our Survivor lap when those who are battling cancer or have battled it in the past take a walk around the track with those who have supported them and cared for them during their journey. The lyrics are powerful and so meaningful. Submitted By: Marsha Snider

Thank you & Congrats on 15 years Jim. The first time I heard "Valentine" on the radio, I had to go to the music store and find out who sang the song. I found out it was on Jim's "Picture This" Cd, so I bought it for my husband for Valentine's Day and also "By Heart" and Ernie and I have been hooked on Jim's music since 1997. Our first concert was the Chicago Theater and Ernie bought me a meet and great. I was so, so nervous to meet Jim. Jim, you were so kind, friendly, easy to talk to, great to your fans and you have been that way every since. You have never changed in all of these years. Thank you for still meeting your fans after your concerts, there are not that many artists that do that anymore, so I greatly appreciate that in you. I feel so priveldged to know you and to have been to so many concerts', meet and greets, 2 Brickman Bashes, a Sound Check, A Brickman Cruise, and had a fantastic time at the taping of your Beautiful World PBS Special. Thank you so much for giving back to your fans. Also, since my son was in
