We [ The Kansas]'re somewhat hard-pressed at this time to imagine any bands that'll be around 40 years from now (and that's our personal opinion).

We actually had a Kansa band softball team.

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

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

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.

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.

If you're learning a new instrument, have fun.
