Lone Bayonne Musical Arts Presents Adrian Bates

Bayonne explains while writing his over 300 plus songs there were a few fellas I always had in mind. If ever given the chance to play these songs in a live or session environment, I knew I wanted these gentlemen to play. Every song I wrote had an imaginary Adrian Bates on bass , Vincent Larrs on sax and a Billy Norwood on drums. Norwood and Larrs were also members of the Brothers Owens Band in the early 80s... After all these years Bayonne tells us these guys never left my mind. The way they performed on there instruments, and professional showmanship skills was a hallmark or sign of what I wanted on my original material. Never knowing if I would ever see these players again or not, it was and is there brand or style of play they without knowing, contributed to my music. I still see them as if in a dream state when I am writing my music. To have found Adrian after all these years was a miracle to me and I am and will be forever gratefull to him for our new accomplishments! Lone Bayonne Musical Arts Staff Writer
