Tucson Concert Your concert was a special treat for me. I was visiting friends in Tucson and they knew what a big fan I was so they purchased tickets for all of us to attend the concert. It was a first concert for them but I had seen you 2 other times in Connecticut which is where I live. Keep up the good work...your music is terrific Submitted By: Susan Ponton

February 20 Concert My wife and I were delighted to be with you last Friday in St. Louis. We were also thrilled to be able to meet you after the show and share with you the blessings you have brought to our lives through your music. As my wife said, she fell in love with your music at the same time she fell in love with me, and we had several of your songs in our wedding. Thank you so much for all you do as we are blessed.

Beautiful music!! Dear Jim, 12 years ago, my best friend gave me 'Picture This' for a Christmas Present after I had listened to her CD 'The Gift'. I've been addicted ever since. I am a 'die-hard' Cher and Tina Turner fan, but your music has touched my heart beyond words. I have been a VIP fan for about three years and have been to six of your concerts. I just recently saw you at the Sheldon (what a beautiful venue). Even though I've only been a fan for 12 years, I have all of your CD's, so I don't feel like I've missed a thing. Congratulations on 15 awesome years and many more to come. I don't want to wish time away, but I can't wait for your Christmas Tour. Love in Music, Pam Submitted By: Pam Boyer

You are the most amazingest piano player in the world!!!! Oh my goodness! You are the most amazing piano player i have ever heard! You see i'm only 12 years old and i "discovered" you, i guess you could say, when i was practicing my piano one day and my piano teacher played for me your song and i said to myself, " Oh my gosh! That is the most amazing and coolest thing i have ever heard!" So ever since i've thought that you were really cool. So just this last Christmal i asked my mom or "Santa" to get me 2 particular cds that i saw on your website that i wanted. And so for Christmas i got those 2 Jim Brickman cds, a Jim Brickman piano book, and a Mark Masri cd. Well we got the thing in the mail that said you were coming to the Orpheum and i was like, " Man i really want to go to that," and so my mom bought tickets and i saw you. It was amazing! And i loved Tracy Silverman! He was so cool! You are just so inspiring and now i've considered for my future careers to be a concert pianist. I love your music and it just makes me so happy. Are you nat

I love your music Jim, I have been a fan of your music from the time when you had only one CD out. Your music was being used as background music for one of the evening music programs on the radio back in 1994. I waited with great anticipation for your second CD, and I love By Heart. That album was a Christmas present from me to another Soldier while I was stationed in Saudi Arabia that year. I really missed that album until I returned, and was able to get another copy. I look forward to each new CD you release. David Paige Submitted By: David

Jim's music It was a dream come true to have front row center seats to see you in Tucson on Feb. 12th! I remember when you were a prodigy in Cleveland, playing withthe Cleveland Orchestra, and all my friends who were studying with me at Cleveland Institute of Music were so critical and envious of you! I never got to hear you; vocal performance studies were too demanding and money was tight. When I finally got to begin listening to you 15 years ago, your music touched my heart and I was so happy for your success! I had the most memorable Valentine's weekend this year; and YOU and your music were the best for a great kickoff! with much love and celebration, Gigi Submitted By: Gigi Piatt

magical music Wow!!! Has it been that long!!! I remember hearing Jim's wonderful music on FM 100. I loved the music and if you knew me you would know I'm not into who wrote what , but I paid attention with "The Gift" and all the other fabulous songs. Maybe because they were different. Maybe because I play the piano. I don't know. Now I can be anywhere in the world and my ears quickly pick up when a Jim Brickman song is being played(above the noise of the crowd in a store etc...). My first and only cds for a long time, were Jim Brickman cd's. Now they are so much a part of my life I can't imagine how stressed out I would be without them!!!! Those long and seemingly ENDLESS hours at school preparing for another day and especially in rush hour traffic, I would be a total fruitcake without the soothing songs to listen to. I never tire of listening to the same cd for hours at a time!!! The music never gets annoying or repetitive. I am so thankful for all of the peace and joy it has broug

Congratulations on 15 years Jim, Your music is such a gift. It would be hard for me to pick out one particular favorite. I'm just coming off a high from your February 13 concert in Phoenix and can't wait until you return. Keep writing more beautiful melodies. You're awesome! Nancy Submitted By: Nancy K. Manning

Through the Years I can't believe you've been America's Romantic Piano Sensation for 15 years--it seems like just yesterday! I've been a fan for almost all that time. My earliest memory of you is an appearance on a local a.m. talk show in the Dallas-Ft. Worth area. And then how excited I was when I first heard "By Heart" playing in a Target store. It clicked that I was listening to "that guy" I just saw on TV, and from that moment on I've considered you my very own "personal" discovery. I have every CD you've ever recorded, and I got them the old-fashioned way--one at a time. Your music makes my heart smile, if you know what I mean. And it bridges generations; my daughters and I share a love for your exquisite piano renditions. In fact, my daughter Katy has given me a JB VIP membership for Mother's Day for the past 3 years. Attending your concerts with her are undoubtedly some of the happiest moments of my life, and photos of us with you, Ann and Tracy capture that moment in time
