Man, if anyone doubted Robby's skill, just listen to him here.

Phil Ehart has one of the most laid-back drumming styles ever. And, y’know…I wonder if I should wear a tuxedo when I play guitar like Rich Williams does…

My two favorite (obscure) Kansas songs were 'Fight Fire With Fire' and 'Play The Game Tonight. '

I remember “ Fight Fire With Fire.” My brother-in-law was into Kansas and got that record as soon as it came out.

They had many great songs, for certain.

Yeah. I liked them, too. There is a thoughtfulness and stylistic variety to their songs. I feel similarly about Boston and Styx.

Cheap Trick was a local favorite growing up since they are from my hometown. I knew Bun E. Carlos’s sister. (not his real name). She’s actually a pretty skilled violinist.

She was a sweet, down-to-earth sort of person who never bragged about her brother being in a major rock band.
