PANDORA & JANGO LISTENERS........
My CD "Guitar Songs", has been accepted for airplay at Pandora. This feels especially good because Pandora is very picky about what they accept. I also like that they pay royalties. The CD was just mailed to them so they can get it uploaded to their servers. Since they deal in such high volume it will likely be at least 3-4 weeks before they get it into rotation. Pandora listeners please look for my music there. Your searches and requests will speed up the process and increase my airplay.
Jango.com is another internet radio site where my music is already available. If you have an account or a station there please, listen to or play my music.

"Guitar Songs" CD REVIEWS Released in late 2009, “Guitar Songs” is the fourth CD by Fremont John Ashton (fifth if you count his “Demo” CD, which is no longer available). John is based in Sarasota but is perhaps better known for his time in Key West where he was a fixture on the local music scene prior to coming to our part of
MusicTampaBay.com Reviews "Guitar Songs" "Tampa Bay's most seasoned and professional original singer/songwriter" - MTB " Fremont John's treatment of the songs in his new, all instrumental collection is often light and lively, always meticulous and masterful, from a career showman who commutes regularly between Sarasota and Key West to entertain a sizeable league of followers in both local markets. Ten songs in all, one called The Storm might easily be seen as a sequel to his vocal Storm Warning that wound up at #69 on last year's Top 100 on MTB. Various tracks display the artist’s easy command of the instrument with serene and tranquil renderings, punctuated at times with thunder and lightning, that all make for an adventurous listening experience. Titles like Peace, Slippery When Wet, and the pre-lease to the CD currently in the Big Bay 99, Heavy in the Middle all serve as testament to an artist who may be Tampa Bay's most seasoned and professional original singer/songwriter. One track deserves special mention, said to be the artist's favorite, and the only cover in the collection - a Santana tribute called Europa, that showcases an extraordinary talent in a package given a plain and simple title, Guitar Songs."

(Oops! Well,I do Christmas but, let's say "Holiday of Choice") Do you want to save time from shopping cause you're just too busy? Why not purchase 5 or 10 CDs. You'd be giving them a great gift! "Music, the gift that keeps on giving." And, you would be helping me out a ton! I'll sign them if you buy 5 or more. But, if you buy 10 as gifts (or maybe, cause you wanna start dealin'' for me on the side), I will personalize them for each recipient. ABOUT THE CD, "GUITAR SONGS" "GUITAR SONGS" consists of 10 acoustic guitar instrumentals including 9 great originals and 1 cover, Santana's most beloved, "Europa". About "Europa", this version is really going to blow your socks clean off and into the washer! Like Margi said after she first heard it "Wow...!" It doesn't stop there. Like I said, there are 9 great originals!
THE BAND The band is primarily an acoustic trio format. I play the acoustic guitars and keyboards. Michael Carden plays percussion ("percussion - things you beat, or shake, using your hands, sticks or mallets") In this case, percussion is congas, djimbae, bongos, shakers, rain-stick, 'n' stuff. There is no drum set on this CD. "Europa" features a very special guest, Fernando Saunders, on bass. Fernando is one of a handful of bassists in the world who is on a level to play with Eric Clapton, Jan Hammer, Joan Baez, Pat Benatar,
TRACK LISTING 1. Open Up! - If you've heard me play my opener lately, you've heard this upbeat, lightly jazzy tune. People love this one! It makes me friends. 2. Europa - This is Santana's most known and beloved guitar instrumental. Our version really rocks! We have Fernando Saunders on bass. This is Margi's fave. 3. Walkin' Song - This tune reminds me a bit of Craig Chaquico. It's happy, lightly jazzy and sounds like a walkin' song. 4. Heavy In The Middle - Well, because it is. It's kinda Celtic with a booming djimbae (jim'-bay) and hand-clapping and some pretty quick guitar. Margi's next fave. 5. Daddy's Daughter - On "Acoustic Thunder", it was "Dirril's Daughter" The change was requested and involves a story 'bout Margi's dads (bio and step). 6. Dolphins Playin' in the Marco - Marco River, Marco Island, that is. I saw them there just this past weekend as I was playing this tune at the Snook Inn. It was then, I knew the title. 7. Robbies Tune - Beautiful ballad written by me on the day I got the call that my ex-bassist, Rob Leon had passed away. First, the song then, the call. 8. Slippery When Wet - If Steely Dan did an acoustic guitar instrumental Blues tune?? It is kinda slippery. Must be wet. This one grows on you. It is quickly becoming Margi's next fave. 9. The Storm - With some liberal use of imagination, you might hear the storm happening in this tune. Finger-style back-up to a flat-pick lead. 10. Peace - is what it brings me. This is a lone acoustic guitar played finger-style. It is my first finger-style guitar composition and recording. What a nice way to close-out GUITAR SONGS. ___________________________ ONGOING: GET A FREE CD and DVD! Send me YOUR video from yourYour video may just show up on a DVD we’re working on.
