Jim, Thank you for your beautiful music and many memorable jingles. :) I grew up in Cleveland and can still sing part of the "We Want Schwebel's" jingle - I even remember hearing you play it on one of the morning radio shows on my way to school. When I was in high school, I asked my piano teacher for the sheet music for Angel Eyes. It was a welcomed change from playing sonatinas and is still one of my favorite pieces to play. I now live in St. Louis and can't wait to see you on February 6!! Submitted By: Kristin

welcome to Moscow!!! I was 13 or 14 when mum's friend from USA brought me a disk of Jim Brickman. And I have never heard such beautiful music before. Since that time, I'm Jim's biggest fan, and it is a pity, that in cold Russia so hard to recieve Jim's warm music. Hope, that Jime Brickman will visit our country! Submitted By: Juliya

You've gone to the dogs at our house..... We opened our dog daycare/boarding facility almost two years ago. As we've gotten the hang of things, we've discovered that during rest time and when it's "kennel up time" at night, it's time to put on the Jim Brickman CD. The dogs immerdiately know it's time to rest and we don't here a peep out of them!!! THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!! Submitted By: Ellen Adlam

Jim, There are two incredible piano players that I absolutely love, you and our choir leader at our church! I have been listening to you since you started and have all your cd's which I adore. I love to go to your concerts when you come to St. Louis. The different venues are all great, but I especially like the smaller ones since they are more intimate with the crowd. I have a "date" night with my brother when you are in St. Louis Feb. 6th at the Touhill and really looking forward to the show. My husband also loves your music and has some of the cd's in his car also. God has truly blessed you and He will watch over you wherever you go. Be safe in your travels. Submitted By: Gay McCormick
