Tonight I went to a Jim Brickman "concert" at Deseret Book. I had the priveledge of sitting only 4 feet away. After all these years, playing his music on the piano and listening to his CD's, it was really exciting to see and hear him in person; especially for free! He was very charismatic, and couldn't play a requested song (Dreamland) because he couldn't remember which song it was and no one would hum it to help him remember. When he was answering questions, I raised my hand and asked him how long it takes him to write a song. He elaborated for a while and then summed it up by saying that it can take him only a minute or up to a day. Pretty amazing! While he was playing, I recorded a "holiday medley" with my camera (see video link below). After the concert, he signed a few autographs and when he got to me he said something I already knew:
"You had the best seat in the house!"
