Pop music - part 3

The Beginning Of Us!

This song is dedicated to J.R. Byrd. Growing up together; he was my best friend. We played in a few different bands together in high school and into our early twenties. This song was inspired by a cassette tape I kept and recently found again (photo of said tape featured in song artwork). On this tape are some very rough recordings of J.R. and me playing through songs he wrote for our bands. He was like a brother to me. Even when we had our falling out, it felt better knowing he was there. He has since passed on to the great music hall in the sky. With this song I hope to convey what he meant to me and how much I miss him. Rock on my brother...

Nice little song based on the old saying, “you can lead a horse to water but you can’t make it drink” and being on both sides of that statement and believing in yourself.

You Got This

Adrienne and John met in 2001 as members of another Band. This is where they realized their love for both music and each other. The pair began writing original music together soon after meeting and created the band Bastet in 2002. In the early days of the band, Bastet performed as an acoustic rock group comprised of Adrienne’s lead vocals, two guitars and a djembe. As band members came and went the talent got better and the sound became fuller. Drummer Lance, Bassist Erik, and Lead Guitarist Leo joined Adrienne and John. Bastet recorded a demo of their music and performed throughout the DFW area. In 2004, Lance departed to fulfill family obligations. This is when Jake joined the group. For the next year Bastet performed in Houston, Dallas, and Tulsa, OK. Jake and Leo both left the band around 2006. Adrienne, John, and Erik perform as an acoustic group for about a year. In 2007 Drummer Jay joined Bastet. At this point it became clear that performing cover songs would be more lucrative than performing original music. So for the next two years Bastet performed as a cover band at various parties and venues before calling it quits in 2009.
