Good Times

Good Times (class of '84) =125-145 better if played before Sept. '98 copyright (c)1998 5 2 written by Jon Schmidt (from the album Walk in the woods) having this underlying beat in your mind makes playing the song twice, no, three times as nice. 8 = 1 beat so these #s are for rhythm help.

Side Notes:

I owe an awful lot to the great group of kids I went through high school with. This song was written way back then and it's dedicated to all of them.
(I know it sounds silly, but the subtitle has the year our class was born instead of the year we graduated.)

Helpful Hints:
One unusual thing you'll find in this song is what I call subliminal notes. Subliminal notes are notes with a rhythm function that find their way into my music because I'm feeling a percussion part in my mind as I play. I think it makes for a fun style of piano music, but I did notice that some of these notes bothered some of my student testers at first. Therefore, I've marked the potentially bothersome subliminal notes so they can be deleted, if you want, without really hurting the song. After you've learned the song, you might put the subliminal notes back in. For best results keep the subliminal notes subtle.
