Ashes Of Dreams Piano Sheet
Marquez Feliciano
Wow, so sad that the instrument mecca is losing one more member. I had started going in the late 60s early 70s when I was 14 taking the train from New Haven CT before I could drive. Sam Ash, Mannys and all the other shops and pawn shops were the best candy stores ever. I still remember looking at some guitars in a shop window and saw a 57 Fender Stratocaster with a price of $875.00 on a hand written piece of cardboard ! Often saw rock stars like Ron Wood at the Guitar Lab where they were the first putting humbucker pickups in Fenders . It was heaven. Thanks
Man, this is sad day. So many memories from my youth involve Sam Ash Music, both the store on 48th. street as well as the one in Hempstead. I bought gear there and dreamed dreams there. Thank you to the Ash family for providing a place for us musicians to buy and to dream.
I lived around the corner from the Sam ash store in Brooklyn, on Utica ave. I used to go there with my friends to play records in their booths. It was great, and we could stay as long as we wanted. So sad.
Soo sad. Started going to the one in Hempstead when I was a little girl with my dad. He was a drummer and I think he played or taught there for a while. They also carried his drum books for soo many years. Charlie Perry

I feel terrible about the closing of the Sam Ash store. Times are sure changing. I still have the Fender Telecaster my parents bought me in the seventies at the Hempstead store. I would jump on the local bus to Hempstead and spend many days looking thru all the sheet music there. I have fond memories.
I walked around music row one Saturday morning and stumbled into a shop called Terminal music where I bought my G&L series 200 for $240. Still have the guitar, and still go to the Sam Ash in Westbury. Great memories.
Bought my first guitars, an f-hole Harmony and a Gibson Hummingbird at Sam Ash in Hempstead (already long gone, but replaced by nearby Carle Place). I happened to stumble by chance into the Ace Frehley signing in the 34th st store. Sam Ash is a NY legend!
Welcome to the new home of FREEDOMSHEETS.COM!
I believe sheet music is something that should be available to everyone and that is why I built and currently run this site.
I realize not everyone can afford to buy sheet music so if I can share the joy of learning a new song on the piano with someone who might not have been able to otherwise that makes it all worthwhile for me.
New sheets are added constantly, so check back often.
2/22/2023- Welcome back! I just finished replacing the URLs on all of the sheets on the sheets page. I will be working on the themes next. If everything goes smoothly I will hopefully be in a position to add some new sheet music to the site in the next few weeks. I will do my best to keep you updated. Thank you for the continued support. Don't forget to update your bookmarks!
3/12/2021- This is an update. I don't think anybody really reads these anyway so I don't have anything clever to say today. Not sure what I'll be working on next but I am trying for you guys. Stay safe out there. Much love!
12/26/2020- I really hope everyone had a very merry Christmas! I will leave the holiday sheets up until the beginning of January since there are still a few songs, like Auld Lang Syne, that could still be relevant. Not sure when the next update will be but there will most definitely be one before the new year. Happy playing!
12/23/2020- I hope everyone is having a good week so far. Here are some fulfilled requests. Hit me up if you'd like to get your requests in. Please stay safe out there! I will try to post another update on Christmas.
12/19/2020- Here are some fresh sheets, mainly requests, as well as some updates to a few existing sheets that had some formatting issues. I have been working on Synthesia tutorial videos to accompany some of the arrangements on the site. You can find them on my YouTube channel. I would really appreciate some support so please check out the videos, like, comment and/or subscribe if you find them helpful. Much more to come on that front. Stay safe!
12/13/2020- I'm tired after working on this update so I can't find anything clever to say. Sorry about it. I'll be back later in the week. Feel free to hit me up for requests if you feel so inclined. Stay safe out there!
12/11/2020- I'm back and somewhat refreshed! Here are some requests from the past week and a couple of other random sheets. A larger update is in the works for tomorrow or Sunday. See you soon. Happy Hanukkah!
12/1/2020- Welcome to December - the month of joy, happiness and to finish what you started. Full disclosure, I totally just stole that from the first thing that popped up on google images. This is a bit of a hybrid update, if you will... I had to add in some other sheets because if I keep focusing on Christmas music alone I will surely go mad from too much festive cheer. Seriously though, I had to mix it up a bit. Expect a similar format for the next update which I will try to post in a few days. Hit me up for requests. Stay safe and please stay home if you can. Happy playing!
11/20/2020- I have added 37 new sheets to the Christmas section. The sheets labeled with the Reader's Digest tag are from The Reader's Digest Merry Christmas Songbook. I serendipitously stumbled upon this book in PDF format and immediately recognized some of the arrangements. When I was much younger, this was the go-to book my piano teacher would make photocopies from around Christmastime. So from personal experience, I know that these are fun and solid arrangements good for students and teachers alike. I thought it was kind of cool that I came across this book again so I wanted to share that little side note with you guys. It would be too much work for me to go through and clean up all 252 pages of the book, as the quality is quite spotty in parts, but I will do my best to add a few more songs from the book in future updates. Expect to hear from me again in a few days. Please stay safe!
11/17/2020- Forgive me for the randomness of this little late night update but I wanted to get this fresh Billie Eilish song out as an exclusive. Can you hear the air horns blaring? Tell your friends. Keep the requests coming, I love hearing from you guys. Peace!
10/21/2020- Since Fleetwood Mac is suddenly cool again I wanted to get out this random update that contains Dreams. I'm still working on Christmas but need some more time. Will have another update as soon as I can.
10/16/2020- Hello there! I went on a little detour because I wanted to pay homage to a legend in the music industry: Eddie Van Halen. As a result of his passing last week, I decided to put together a small collection of Van Halen songs. I didn't realize how many memorable and iconic songs they have in their discography - I tried to get as many as I could for this update. I can't think of a better way to honor someone than to learn their songs on the piano. RIP Eddie. Have a nice weekend everyone - I am doing Christmas next, I swear.
10/9/2020- As usual, I spent a little more time than I intended to on this Halloween update but I was able to put together a nice and decent-sized collection. Listed below are all of the new sheets that have been added to the sheets page. In addition to these, I have also found several spooky themes and tunes from movies and television and have made a new section for them on the books & themes page. Check it out! Next, I am going to try and focus on getting a jump on some Christmas sheets. If you have any requests let me know. I'll see you soon - happy playing!
10/3/2020- So somehow I totally forgot that Halloween was a thing. I'm not going to go too crazy but that will be my focus for the next few days. Here's a very small sampling of the spooky sheets - more to come. Please bear with me and remember I am only one person. If you have a little extra cash and feel like donating I would be grateful. Thank you!
10/1/2020- My internet was out last night so here's the update that I wanted to get up yesterday. Now that it's October I think I'm going to get some holiday themed sheets ready for the next update. I realize people sometimes need some extra time to learn a particular piece so I think now is probably the time to tackle this endeavour. I'll have some Mariah Carey Christmas songs, songs by Vince Guaraldi from A Charlie Brown Christmas, and plenty of traditional holiday songs. This might take me several days, but you can expect it to be a fairly large update. Stay tuned!
9/15/2020- Here's the Lady Gaga book I've been working on. Normally I would include the singles along with the book but I don't have them ready quite yet so you'll have to check back. I have a few other things in the works as well. An update in all likelihood tomorrow.
9/14/2020- Here we go. I wanted to include a Lady Gaga book with this update but I ran out of time. So you can expect that tomorrow with a couple of other random sheets. I will see you guys soon - happy playing.
9/12/2020- I haven't forgotten about you guys - in fact I've got a fairly large update in the works. I am going to do my best to have it ready by tomorrow night. If for some reason I can't make the deadline that I just arbitrarily set for myself, I will have it up for sure by Monday afternoon. See you soon!
9/6/2020- Hello! Here's the update - it's a little larger than I anticipated but the bigger the better, right? Going to do some graphic design and promotional stuff for the site for the next few days so there probably won't be another update until late in the week. Check back. Submit your requests here.
9/5/2020- I hope everyone is having a nice holiday weekend. If you plan on attending any gatherings please stay safe and mask up! I have an update in the works and will have it posted tomorrow. See you soon.
8/31/2020- This is usually where I try to come up with something clever to say but working on this update all day has me a little brain dead. I'm going to take a break for a few days, so I'll see you guys later on in the week. Enjoy the update!
