For information and tickets, go to mim.org . that’s more of an international community. I do some coaching and speaking to raise money for them. What is something that surprises you about your work? I think I’m constantly forgetting about the reach of music and what it’s done. A lot of time, you’re just creating and don’t realize the impact of it. It’s one of the reasons that I love to perform so much. What would people be surprised to learn about you? Contrary to the stage persona, I am extremely shy. I’m not comfortable in groups of people. I often do meet-and-greets before a show, and I’m very quiet and mild-mannered. But on stage, it’s completely different. I feel like that’s where I belong. Looking ahead to the holiday season, which songs are you most excited to play? I actually like the winter songs the best. Like “Winter Wonderland,” “Sleigh Ride” and “It’s Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas.” Many people say, “Oh, Holy Night,” and that’s beautiful. But I like the happy ones. 8 9 10 Photo courtesy Jim Brickman 10 QUESTIONS
