    Kind of brings back sad reflections of happier times spent so long ago..

    Beautifully done, man. Thank you for posting. God, I love this tune. Something about it that just sort of breaks your heart- while at the same time makes you feel good. The definition of bittersweet, I guess. Lovely rendition...

      exactly how I feel! Its a very bittersweet song. Its like reminiscing the beauty that once was, knowing that you cant experience it anymore. Its beautiful, yet so painful.

    I could listen to this for hours. There are haunting elements of poignancy and sadness, yet joy and hope at the same time. A yearning for good times that are now just echoes in my mind. I want to let go and yet hang on.

    Really Lovely! It would be nice to hear your interpretation of more Guaraldi songs. You seemed more relaxed and in the pocket on your older version which is still my favorite version on UA-cam! ❤ Edited to add: I play, but like you also have trouble playing in front of people, even a small group of my friends. Im very anxious in front of people which ruins my performance. I can play in front of my family, that’s about it. I’ve been that way most of my life, so you are not alone. I think you are very brave for putting your performances on YT and very talented as well!

      @@chelseywimbish7090 Yeah, I really need to get around to that. The problem is I’m very slow at transcribing things and I’m far too lazy. LOL. I’m considering doing a tutorial, which would probably take less time than trying to write it down. If it helps the song is in the “Charlie Brown Collection” songbook, which you can get on amazon. I used the same chords and just changed up the voicings to suit my playing style. Thanks for listening!

    Any chance of selling sheet music for this arrangement? The Pumpkin Waltzes on MusicNotes aren’t nearly as good as your beautiful interpretation.

    • @keithsheppardpiano
      @keithsheppardpiano  5 місяців тому +1

      Thanks for the compliment! I haven’t taken the time to write down my arrangement yet due to laziness. I play mainly by ear and memory, so I don’t ever write anything down. I’ve gotten a few requests for it, so I’m thinking of a tutorial as soon as I get some time. If it helps, I used the chords from a Hal Leonard songbook called “The Charlie Brown Collection”. That should get you started.

      ​@@keithsheppardpiano Thank you, I'll check it out. If you're time-poor, maybe you can use a transcriber like My Sheet Music Transcriptions? I sent them an ancient UA-cam video I found, and they transcribed all the piano and vocals perfectly for $83 (and supplied it in a bunch of formats). It was only a 1:50 minute runtime though, so yours would cost a little more.
