    The little basement Calvary Chapel and Pastor Lavern Campbell and most of the members of Kansas, and the Wonderful Babbie Mason leading music. The early 80's I was working at Video Supply Company, and we did large conventions and had contracts with most of the major hotels in Atlanta. We handled all the Sound, video, lighting and lots of 35mn slide projectors. When the first AD album came out, somehow Video Supply Company was mentioned in the "thanks "🤔 I think we might have loaded out some Sound equipment or something. Attended the old Metro Bible Study and got to chat with Mylon LeFevre when he was the janitor at Mount Paron Church of God, as he was getting clean. Special times back in the day, and Kerry won't remember, but we went to lunch a few times in a big group after church. I was in my early 20's and Kansas was the music I grew up with. I was pretty pissed off after reading Weird Senses from the Canyon by the late great David McGowan. I Highly recommend it for those who grew up in the 60-70's and everyone else. Laurel Canyon was a freaky place where folks were suddenly discovered. Funny thing, 90 percent of their parents worked in the Military Intelligence Community. Not just the Military, but Military Intelligence 🤔 Jackson Browne CSNY Zappa America James Taylor jonnie Mitchell Flying Burrito Brothers Poco Beach Boys and on and on. Charlie Manson and his family were regulars in the Canyon. BTW, it's an old Military Base and some shady stuff happened in the Canyon. To bad that David McGowan suddenly died after he was getting coverage on his book.🧐 RIP David McGowan,we know that God loves the Truth Tellers and David McGowan was a Truth Teller. Viva Cristo Rey 🙏☝️

    Kerry, my buddy Edward and I smoked lots of pot back in the day listening to Kansas and wore out a few 8track tapes. The good Ole days in south Texas,I wonder if you remember corpus christi tx? Back in the day seen many of concerts there, and Kansas ranked up at the top,because of quality. Kansas should have been in the rock roll hall of fame many years ago. They rank with zeppelin!

    The spiritual aspect of the lyrics is what drew me to Kansas back in the 70's, and being a Christian, it was some of the only "spiritual" music on the radio. I was in a band at the time and covered one of their songs, but the Lord called me out of the band around 1978. I always figured Kerry was a Christian, but did not realize it wasn't until 1979 that he surrendered to Christ. Awesome testimony.
