Magnum Opus by Kansas... it always freaks out my middle school music students when I play it...

it was good to hear some people talk about Tormato, back a page or two. I always liked that album.

Good stuff from Kansas back then. Dave Hope and Phil Ehart comprise a very underrated rhythm section.

they were very tight. the whole band were really consummate musicians...

I just have to say it is so cool to find a place where people know these guys names... most people think I'm a freak and start looking at me funny whenever I start talking about Kansas, etc...

Kansas tidbits
In 7th grade (eons ago), we had to take a song and analyze it. Someone did "Sparks of the Tempest", and got extra points for alliteration (Soothsayer Saying). By the way, I did Foreigner's "At War With The World).

Is your "Two eyes" quote from "Mysteries and Mayhem"?

And, how do you like the Proto-Kaw? I think there's even some VanDerGraff elements in there.

The two eyes quote is from "Dodo", from Genesis' Abacab.

Proto-kaw is a great album I think (but then I'm the one who added it to AM!) More experimental than Kansas was, and mixed in some other odd elements (jazz, etc)

The really odd thing is that I can't imagine them touring the midwest (especially Wichita) with that music - very "out there" for the time!

why am I consistently the weird one?
Both the Final Cut and the Division Bell are among my favorite Floyd albums. I'd put TFC as the single most underappreciated album of all time.

The line I was thinking of was "I saw eyes that looked right through me" - I should have used a lifeline.

Yesspaz - there's nothing wrong with being the weird one - I enjoy your honesty and ideas.

Hard to believe anyone holds such a fondness for The Final Cut, but I won't argue. However, my ex-wife got to keep that CD when we divvied everything out.

I must admit<hides with shame>, that I am Proto-Kaw challenged... anybody recommend a good first album to get?

I saw Kansas in about '79, in Rapid City, SD. what a great show... it was a great summer: Kansas, Boston, Foreigner, Doobies, Heart, AC/DC, Aerosmith, April Wine, too many to remember...

She got our copy of The Wall, too. That wasn't such a good thing, but my current wife has a copy, so it worked itself out.

Proto-Kaw is an album recently released on Cuneiform of music from Kansas' precursor (pre-Steve Walsh) - it has some older versions of Kansas tracks and some unheard stuff. We have it on AM listed under Kansas - give it a listen. Good stuff!

I think I heard a rumor of a second Proto-Kaw release at some point.

Let us know, Roger, what you think of the Proto-Kaw when you hear it.

April Wine, huh? That was real big in high school - I never did get any of their stuff - there's a best of floating around - is it worth it?

I didn't get to see Heart until they got fat - and no Fisher & Fossen - I felt cheated.

What kind of music do you teach?

Avian - another Proto-Kaw release? Is this like the Star Wars Prequels? I think my head is going to explode. I wonder what they will put on it- there's a live song on the first that's lacking (although the rest is great) - I hope the next one's not filler.

April Wine did standard FM rock, nothing of any great note, though they did have the moxie to try a cover of "21st Century Schizoid Man." They were probably better than, say, Loverboy, but they've managed to stay off of my radar screen.

But that's just me, all you Wineheads out there are entitled to your own opinions!

heh. I'm not a huge April Wine fan, I was just remembering a good concert! they actually opened for Aerosmith and blew them away. of course, Steven Tyler could hardly stand up...
I wouldn't spend any money on them now.

I teach choral and general music in a 5-8 public school. it's a good school with a lot of support for music. that's getting to be a rarity these days! we have over 60% of the student body in our performance groups, so things are good.

looking forward to hearing some Proto-Kaw...

Marvelous Roger. I admire anyone who teaches music to others. Got to keep the legacy going!! Do your students perform regularly and if so what have they done? I heard a beautiful performance of Tallis' "Spem in Allium" the other day. In fact I'm listening to it, sung by The Clerkes of Oxenford, as I type. Wonderful stuff!

A bit off Thread I know but I'm just interested.
