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

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

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

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.

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).

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.

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