CONGRATULATIONS! Hello Jim - Like so many others, I have enjoyed your music over the years. A friend took me to one of your concerts at The Pikes Peak Center in Colorado Springs in 1997 and I have gone to every concert around this area since ( 8 total). I have loved every one of them and will continue to go as much as you come out this way. Each time my husband and I go, we bring a new couple who has never experienced a Jim Brickman concert and they have always loved it also. ( I always say that I am your #1 salesperson)! Thank you so much for all of the wonderful music you have made and for much more to come. I also play the piano but let's just say that no one pays to hear me play. :) You have a gift that so many people have enjoyed over the past 15 years. What is so unique is how your music doesn't tell a person to be happy or sad. The music allows each person to fit it into their life depending on how they feel. I am hooked along with so many other people, so THANK YOU! Can't wait to see you in Ft

Congrats! Hi Jim, I have been waiting for this opportunity to tell you how much you and your music mean (and have meant) to my husband and I. We have all been together for the same amount of time. Ironically, we discovered your music thru David Lanz via a young man at a Best Buys music department. He recommended you when we went to purchase a Lanz cd. (He had recently performed in our area.) Love at first note! Since that time we have been at almost every Indianapolis performance. Last August, my husband was diagnosed with brain cancer. You were with us throught his hospitalization, home stay, final days and his funeral mass. Your Faith cd has kept me sane and Michael Bolton's singing Hear me" is my constant theme song. Thank you so much for sharing your talents, yourself and your friends.I have wonderful memories of beautiful music, laughter and love shared by us. I plan to continue to attend your Indy venues even by myself. Blessings and thanks, Kathy Goebel. Crawfordsville Ind l Submitte
