I know what/who this is actually about, but I can certainly relate it to he-who-shall-not-be-named.

1. Masque: A disguise of reality through theatrical or musical performance.

Seeds of Change is a great album, BTW. Highly recommend it! (K. Livgren was a key player for Kansas, wrote many of their hit songs.)

2 weeks ago. Great time!

6. Kewel!

The times I've seen Kansas, they put on a great show!

7. Everywhere ive lived theyve

played. And I've been to practically every one of them. I could tell this time Kerry is looking long in the tooth, and my heart broke when we lost Robbie. He WAS Kansas for me. They played my homecoming dance in Atchison when I was 16, and the Lawrence band day when I was 18. Back then they were White Clover.

It's so hard seeing your heroes die. And at this age it seems like I lose one every other day! Argh! Getting old is hell.

2. The late, great Ronnie James Dio on vocals!

Thanks for posting this, I had forgotten about this collaboration.

Superb, as you would expect!

I should've noted that.
