“It's always a challenge to hit the stage running, with Kansas' music, because it's demanding from the very first note, so we try to be up to the task and keep our pre-show routine pretty much focused on the music.” TryingFirstsShowsRunningChallengesStageMusic IsTasksNotesFocusedRoutineKansas Author:Phil Ehart
