I was inspired to write a song when I hit the big 40 by my birthday cake candle that said, "Forty & Sporty" on it. Inspiration is a strange thing!!!

UPDATE:
I'm getting a "new" website, www.monicaashtonproductions.com that will hopefully be up and running Sept. 1, 2007. I'll probably still keep the Soundclick.com site since a lot of people know I'm on here, but you will be able to purchase my new CD on the new website, as well as get information on my "budding" film composition career.
Thanks to Soundclick, my career has taken off. I can actually afford to make a website now using my own name...couldn't have done this without Soundclick and the exposure it gave me when I decided to pursue a full-time career as a musician back in 2002.
Thanks, Soundclick.
