22. Kansas?

[Phillycat]

26. DING DING DING DING DING!!!!!!!

Good job! :applause:

This was an easy one today, but I really sort of like Kansas and I think it's mean how they get trashed by "real" music fans.

In lieu of the requisite picture of me, I give you a truly spectacular shot of the current Kansas lineup:


Nice eyepatch!

Thanks for playing! Everyone play again Monday! :hi:

[malta blue]

27. really?

Thanks - that was fun...

[hfojvt]

28. are they still on the 'born again' train?

They were supposed to play at our State Fair in 1985 but the show got cancelled. They were not selling enough tickets. Fooey on my redneck state, but John Waite did not have that problem there. I think his hits were more current though, but I usually goto a concert to hear the classics.

[Phillycat]

29. I believe so, yes.

Yeah, if they tried to play anything other than "Carry On" and "Horse", I would have been yelling at the stage a la Homer Simpson. Well, not really, but I would have been thinking it. :)

[blockhead]

32. ahem!

pic?

[Phillycat]

34. Hee!

All right, all right, but I warn you, I don't have any new ones!

Here's me at Halloween, dressed as Dorothy, with some friends:

[blockhead]

35. you are a doll!

thank you.

[Phillycat]

38. That was my birthday! :)

[hfojvt]

36. well, there's nothing quite like the classics

but it looks like you're not into Kansas any more.

[Phillycat]

37. OMG! I didn't even think of that!

You are a genius! :rofl:
