Jim Brickman Concert LIVE - Timeless - By: Phillip Mills

[carolynlyn777]

What an amazing experience! Excellent performance!! I would have been extremely nervous but you were brill!

[phillipmills]

@carolynlyn777 I was nervous during the questioning portion...not because of the crowd but because that is literally my idol! As soon as I started playing it all felt right and I was very comfortable

[BexyGing]

So cute! U guys were hilarious!

[phillipmills]

@BexyGing haha thanks!

[dennischen215]

I loooooove Jim Brickman

[phillipmills]

@dennischen215 he's a great musician

[susanott]

Timeless is my favorite Jim Brickman song, and you did an outstanding job on stage. I wish you much success!

[phillipmills]

@susanott thank you very much!

[dr263599]

No disrespect to Jim, but I think you may have outplayed him on this one? :-)

[phillipmills]

@dr263599 well thats a very kind thing for you to say. thank you.

[jcedar25]

How did you get the opportunity to play like this?? I saw Jim Brickman in Denver this past Friday night and was so amazed by the entire show, what an incredible piano player. My story is the same as yours, my piano playing started only a couple of years ago but it has been very much self taught and driven forward by hours playing Jim Brickman music and a little bit of Micheal W Smith, but anyway, awesome job man!

[phillipmills]

@jcedar25 i was at that concert too! lol. jim wanted to hear how i sounded and performed live so he set it up.

[yamwizard]

Very, very well played my friend. I like how you pay close attention to the dynamics of the piece. Also, the drawdown in tempo at the end is not easily accomplished. Nicely done. Peace.

[arnelakawhitewash]

awesome... so happy for you.

Two things in this world that i would do. Watch overhaulin' and listen you play. chip and you are both genuine people. You just don't sing and play but you certainly show the meaning of love and reaching out your hands through music.
