One of my faves up until after Masque, then they started to wane for me … this song, though …

 

[Bob Womack]

I loved his work and hate to see him go.

Kansas had some fine musicians.
RIP, sir.

It sounds so cliche, but it's sooo very true that we are all just Dust In The Wind...

R.I.P.

Oddly enough, I thought I knew a fair amount of "Kansas" going in to this last weekend. And then I stumbled upon a video that expressed what I really miss about their best period. Kansas (in their prime) embodied the ideas that music was *important* and that producing it was a *big deal*. Two members that could play keyboards? Sure, why not! An electric violinist? Let's do that! Several members who could do background vocals? Of course! Here's the record company's video of them doing a song that just sounds...huge--and doesn't get much airplay (obviously, or I would have been very familiar with it!):

Oh man!! That sucks. Kansas is my all time fave band. I knew he wasn't in the best health recently, but this still surprised me.

Rest In Piece Robby.

 

[Peegoo]

Awww.
Sad news.
Robbie was the reason Kansas had such a full live vocal sound.


Rest in peace.

Great band. I only got to see them once but what a great, full live show
RIP

 

[GearHund]

Here's a Kansas tune that rocks hard and encompasses all their considerable musical assets.

RIP Robby

Aw man that sucks! This is the first I've heard of this. I've always been a huge Kansas fan. RIP
