Food for thought here... Since the Dream with Me album had the Michael Evancho 'To Believe' written for Jackie, I am wondering why he did not continue working with Jackie for some more original music. I think it would have been a big boost to both careers. Seems like a match made in heaven!

I may be wrong but I think Matt Evancho composed To Believe as part of the requirement for him to attain his PHD in music. The requirement is similar to those PHD's that require a thesis or some such undertaking. Jackie just happened to benefit from uncle's creation. Matt's field of studies in music do not normally include the creation of new original works. However, it would be great if uncle was able to create another original of equal or better quality for Jackie.

And guess what; it just happens to be the most popular of all the songs written for Jackie and is sung by student groups all over the World. Quite a good first try at song writing by Matthew Evancho.

His thesis was (is?) on the net some place and IIRC contains an extensive discussion of Jackie singing the song.
It had also crossed my mind many times over the years that matt should write again for Jackie, and it could be very much mutually beneficial. I know little about him and even less about Mike's other siblings, but it seems like a no-brainer to me. The only other interaction between Matt and Jackie which I recall is Merry Christmas Darling a year ago.

Jackie's Uncle Bill takes care of her finances. He is an accountant.

Not here but the original post.
