When we were starting out, there was no "label" as progressive rock - it didn't exist ... so we were just a rock band.

There's so much interaction between the crowd and the music that it's an incredible moment to be a part of.

I don't enjoy "Dust in the Wind"as much. But I do enjoy "Song for America," "Carry on, Wayward Son," and many songs- Kansas is really a drummer's dream to play in. And I like 'em all.

I would go see local bands play, and noticed how many girls were there to see the band, and that's what inspired me.

Due to people's health, and certain things that have happened to people's physicality because of their healthy, that would probably keep us from touring per se. It doesn't mean that the original band wouldn't someday do a song. But our focus is on the current band, and moving into the future, as far as touring is concerned.

Kansas has always considered itself a "rock band" - some people might say "symphonic rock band," others might say a "classical rock band," but we've kind've prided ourselves on being a rock band. Kansas rocks.

I've learned a long time ago to never say never about the band Kansas.
