I found out not too long ago that Kerry Livgren, the songwriter from Kansas', had a serious stroke. While he is in recovery - including relearning how to play music - that is very sad news indeed. In recent years, he reformed a pre-Kansas group he was in, called Proto-Kaw. Here they are in concert, performing "Scont". Leaning more in the direction of fusion - there is a section of this song that sounds quite a bit like the first incarnation of King Crimson - they are less edgy in concert than Kansas, yet still demonstrating two things I love about Livgren's songs - complexity and a need for a certain level of musical talent above the norm.
