The final two episodes of "Upright" hit the USA today. Although I've been an emotional wreck most of the day from watching them, I want to thank you for sharing your work with us. I've only known about you since watching JCS at the beginning of this terrible COVID-19 (for us, only at the end of March 2020), but have been grateful for everything I could find on Youtube and through the "Minchkin" fan page on Facebook. Watching your piano transformation from across the pond. Lots of love to you and your family. Janine

Dear Mr. Minchin, I've discovered your work about a month or so ago and I just wanted to thank you for the hours of entertainment you've provided me with. Your brilliant mixture of comedic and dramatic projects have allowed me to laugh and think during a somewhat turbulent period of my life. Anything from Thank You God to Upright or your newer songs (can’t wait till the full release of Apart Together). Anyway, I don’t know if this comment will ever reach you, but I just wanted you to know that your work has really brightened up the last few weeks. Kind regards from The Netherlands, Nick.

Hi Tim, I'm 8 and my mummy says you're a genius. Matilda The Musical is AMAZING!!!!! Mummy's favourite song is " When I Grow Up" because it makes mummy wistful whatever that means. When I grow up, I will become a teacher if I make it. I think, and mummy agrees with me, that they should put the West End production of Matilda The Musical on the internet so everyone can see it. Hope you're staying safe and staying positive, Evie xxx

Tim I first saw you sitting in the reception area of a big hotel in South Wales in 2008. I thought what an odd looking bloke. Little did I realise that you were going to be the after dinner entertainment for the company conference I was attending. I'd never heard of you until the point, but I've been a big fan ever since. I next saw you at Reading Town Hall. It's not the best venue, but it had the advantage of having an enormous organ - which you played, of course. I couldn't work out what either anagram of the letters you spelled out were until the punchline in your new song (Prejudice, although I think you called it something else then). I've seen you another four times since including at Hammersmith last autumn. Your songs are perhaps less humorous than before but have even more emotional punch. All the new ones you played there are superb. Keep up the good work.

Dear Mr. Minchin, Sucks for me that im german and our politics of translating every movie into german will probably keep most of the germans from discovering your genius. So i probably will never be able to see you live in a german hall. Just keep going please, so one day i'm able to afford seeing you somewhere else. I love your songs. Best regards, J.
