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.

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 can't think of anybody we toured with that had more impact on us than Queen.

Our early days - our audiences were always very sparse. We played very obscure places in very obscure parts of the world, mainly Kansas. We played frat parties, we played high school proms, we played clubs.

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