you are amazing Jim, your brother told me about his "jingle-writing" brother years ago. I was amazed a few years later when I saw a CD with your name on it in a store. Of course I had to buy it and my husband has been buying your CD's ever since!!! I love your music and has lifted my spirits in many situations. Thanks to Mike for letting me know about you and thanks to you for your wonderful talent! Submitted By: Chris Berger

Love your songs Ok, I'm a rocker at heart, I have never listened to piano tunes before but when I heard your music I had to go on a search to find out who you were. There is something about your music that just makes my heart melt. So far I've bought your cd, "HOPE" and on the hunt for "From the Heart" and "By Heart". So far "Lake Erie Rainfall" is my favorite. Who would have every thought this rocker chic would be listening to romantic piano tunes, LOL! I also your music on my ipod. Thanks for sharing yourself with us Jim :) Submitted By: Cindy Mellow
