Music Banter - Jim Brickman's Indianapolis concert 12-30-2005

Hope everyone has a Happy and safe New Year. I had the great pleasure in being able to get to 3 of Jim's holiday concerts. Each one outdid the other. I was at Jim Brickman's Indianapolis concert at the Murat 12-30-2005. Jim preformed a very emotional, passionate, loving, funny, awesome, terrific concert. Jim played his heart out even after a grueling 37 concerts in 37 days. He had such emotion. Tracy Silverman also performed with his passion and emotions on his electric violin> It's hard to believe Tracy can get any better but he does. The sounds he can make out of the violin are unbelievable. Anne cochran was back with Jim with her alto voice, singing with such passion and emotion "Someone Is Missing at Christmas", you needed a kleenix after that song. Mike Eldred, again, blew me away with "Hear Me". Mike has such a fantastic voice and can bring passion and emotion to his songs, "Hear Me' was heart wretnching. Jim played everything from "his hits", Disney songs, Jim had Kermit the frog do "Rainbow Connection" via satellite, Jim played numerous songs from his "Grace" cd., He played songs from Charlie Brown Christmas. He also played many Christmas songs, brickmanized. What a show it was. I didn't want the night to end. If you ever can make a Jim Brickman concert, it is one you will remember, he is phenominal on the piano, has such a great sense of humour, has other talented muscians with him, usually Tracy Silverman and Anne Cochran, Mike Eldred also joined him this year. The show was magical and the screens that came down and showed pictures was really neat.

If you are given the opportunity to see Jim, please don't miss out. He, Tracy and Anne put on a tremendous concert. Jim plays with such passion and emotion as well as Tracy on the electric violin. You won't want to miss out.
