Beautiful performance - very heartfelt! Thanks so much for sharing. I haven't seen my Mom yet for this Mother's Day, but I shared this link so she could enjoy your playing/singing and the sentiments. Keep up your efforts - you're very talented!

[phillipmills]

@julieAMChicago thanks!

[mpphotoable]

This was always a very special song among my three boys and me. On the last Mother's Day before my 16 year old son died in a car accident, my nephew sang this song at church as I played. Thank you for reminding me of all of my sons' love for me!

[phillipmills]

@mpphotoable i am truly sorry to hear that. i'm glad u enjoyed the song though

Thanks for sharing. It was great as always (^.^)v Congratulations on being the winner to play at Jim Brickman's concert. Have a wonderful and blessed Valentines~

[phillipmills]

I actually wasn't the winner lol. I just get to play at one of his shows cause he likes my playing :)

[gooddude019]

you're on another level of pianist

[phillipmills]

lol well thank you very much! :) hopefully a good level though :p

[dcolwell]

Just curious, how long does it normally take to graduate from the AF Academy?

[phillipmills]

4 years. 5 if you go to the prep school like i did

[almightygonzo]

Are you reading that music? Well I guess after 25 takes you might have it memorized. Or are you just keeping it there for a guide? great work. how are you liking the XS? I just traded my old eds in for one. And I still have a korg extreme 88. I haven't had much chance to use the XS but I think I like the feel on the korg better... well great work. thx

[phillipmills]

no i actually did this song by ear. the music there is Jim Brickman's songbook "Escape" because I'm performing a song from there at his concert this month. I love my XS :)

[almightygonzo]

do you do any new age stuff? yanni, david lanz, george winston? anything in that area? and what concert are you doing with brickman?

[phillipmills]

i havent really done much new age, but I could. feb 28 i get to play a couple songs during his concert :)

[paradisoparadis]

25 takes?!?! wow.... But it was worth it! Never heard this song before, but you sure did an awesome job on it. I just absolutely love your voice! Never give up... cause you are way too awesome. :-)

[phillipmills]

no kidding, 25 takes. i'm almost didnt do it out of frustration lol

[paradisoparadis]

haha!! lol... i definitely would've given up out of frustration. But you have a strong will to go on!  Keep it up!

[phillipmills]

i was determined lol

[paradisoparadis]

That's definitely alot of determination! :-) It paid off!

[SirEscandade]

[phillipmills]
