@danvanhayden

I do not know of the sheet music to the gospel part, but the name of the song is "Just a Closer Walk With Thee".  Hope this helps!

@danvanhayden I dont think there is. When Julie learns a song she adds alot to it, to make it sound better. If you want sheet music you would need the pianist to play on a piano equiped with a midi strip that way you could record the song the exact way the pianist played it. I think at this rag time contest they should equip the piano with a midi strip and record dthe performers songs.Julie Is currently my piano teacher I just started lessons at the age of 16 around 7-23-11 so around late July.

@Jonboyutube me too, i dont know why she does that

[atwaterpub]

@jlh2667 HA -- that's the whole trick.  Just relax...

Don't practice, just play, and play, and play...

[CooperCarr87]

@danvanhayden Just search for flight of the bumble bee.

[Jonboyutube]

The weird smiling and turning to the audience is just weird. It makes me feel afraid in the same way that clowns do.

Just A Closer Walk With Thee. :)

[amangaer]

@jlh2667 I suppose that's just about practice and study, mate. For both speed and style.

[achmedliebtachi]

@1ragtimer UP load...

[jlh2667]

@MrTunetickler Where can one, say me, learn the New Orleans styles? they are so cool and especiallly for this song. Also how does one get do two different speeds at the same time as she does in the Bumble Boogie piece? Not so fast in left but extremely faster in right? Practice or what?

[1ragtimer]

Very Good!! Down load more for us.

[terancev60]

Now thats how it's done! Great Job! can you send me a picture of you?

[boszi985]

She makes playing piano look the simplest thing it the world!

[BloggerToo]

Julie, thanks for showing everybody how it's done!

[MrTunetickler]

I loved hearing "Just a Closer Walk with Thee" in a wonderful old time New Orleans style. Her smile is infectuous. Love it!!
