It's Ryan's fault On a particularly frenzied work day, out of the blue I get a one liner email from my co-worker... "I love Jim Brickman". I responded ???? who... while Googling as quickly as my fingers could type. Well, those blue eyes pulled me out from under the rock in which I'd apparently been living. I purchased a CD right away, which led to a second, then 2 more for my birthday. Now I have fabulous background music daily in my home office. I was saddened when I'd missed your Sacramento appearance by only a month. Thank you for what you do. Frenzy be gone! You are also now on my iPod for the gym and dog walks! Submitted By: Jerri

Thank you for helping me to find my soul I literally stumbled upon your music one evening while I was practicing yoga. I had Pandora on the Enya station, but when "Far Away From Home" arrived, I nearly cried. I love piano and couldn't believe how your music made me feel. Perhaps the meditative state of being played a part, but nonetheless, it was beautiful. In all of my life's struggles, your sound and lyrics have helped my soul to understand my reason for feeling blessed for the things in my life that have created beauty through the swamps of sorrow. Thank you for touching my soul. Submitted By: Monae

Congratulations & Thank you! Dear Jim, Congratulations on 15 years of making and playing beautiful music! I must say that I've just recently started to really listen to your music. I've purchased some cd's and they truly have touched my heart. Some of your songs make me happy and others move me to tears. There is such emotion in your melodies and lyrics and the way your play the piano. God has truly given you a gift and I'm so happy that I've discovered it. I too am a singer/songwriter in Cleveland and would love to have the opportunity to write with you sometime. It would be an awesome experience to learn from your talent. Maybe you should consider having songwriting seminars? I think you would get a lot of interest. Or maybe a songwriting cruise? That would definitely get the creative juices flowing for sure! :-) Anyway, thanks for being so creative and genuine and for sharing your wonderful talent with me and the whole world. Best Wishes, Margo Submitted By: Margo Sokol

Wow... just wow Jim, Just wanted yo let you know, I'm sitting here studying for the MCAT exam and one of your songs came on while I was listening to Pandora radio. Within seconds chills ran up my spine and I became a fan. I immediately googled you and came across your site. Your music is so awe inspiring that I felt the need to post when I saw this box. I now listen to the "Jim Brickman" channel on pandora. Keep up the phenomenal work! Thank you! Submitted By: George
