Arranger's note

I was sixteen when I woke up from an afternoon nap to the sound of A Sentimental Story playing on TV. Instantly captivated by the music, I got up to watch. The very next day, I was already figuring it out on the piano, and before long, I was playing it for my friends at school. Fast-forward 28 years: I’ve finally written down that arrangement. Transcribed entirely from memory, the original version had its quirks, but those imperfections only added to its unique character. I’ve kept edits to a minimum for this edition, preserving its raw nostalgic charm as the newest addition to Faded Memory II. - KL
