        A chacun son gout, consider it a rhetorical flourish if 
        you like. :-) 
 
 DH> I have a "new age-ish" album by Kerry Livgren 
 
        Apparently it was Livgren who was most responsible for 
        the Gentle Giant influence on Kansas. It's interesting 
        that Livgren and GG keyboardist Kerry Minnear (and what a 
        coincidence about the names, eh?) both became born again 
        Christians. Rick Wakeman, too. I wonder if there's 
        something about playing prog keyboards that makes them 
        find religion and stay skinny as they age, whereas bass 
        players tend to get fat (Greg Lake, Chris Squire).

        Didn't Steve Morse gig with them for a while? THat could 
        have been real good. 
 
                                Cheers, 
                                Kenneth
