Miscellaneous

Photo of the unofficial patch of the 931st Air Refueling Group (Air Force Reserve, Wichita, Kansas) (24k). It's a headdress and feather with "KANZA" printed down one side and "People of the Southwind" emblazoned below. It's 24K and 150X272 pixels. Very cool stuff, submitted by Kyle Sutherland (kylesutherland@netscape.net.

Another pic from the Maestro's collection: A cool background pic (300kb). KL sez, "This was the band's Point of Know Return tour b/w promo shot. I cropped and hand-colored it, created a background and rendered the text. It makes a nice screen background. Just resize it to your monitor resolution."

Photo of the Kerry, Vicci, and Ronnie James Dio, circa 1981. - directly from Kerry Livgren's personal archives.

Photo of the ORIGINAL Kansas (circa 1970) - directly from Kerry Livgren's personal archives. He said he hoped this would clear up any questions about who was in the original Kansas. The photo is from 1970, and the text is Kerry's addition.

Brian Thomasson (bthomass@MARSHALL.EDU) provides this great shot of Steve from the Huntington, WV show on Oct. 18, 1995 in the Memorial Field House.

Jay Pearson has contributed a Band photo from the PoKR Piano Book (134k jpeg) and another from the back of the book (125k). Man, things have changed since then!

Robby Steinhardt, Chris Christian, and Chris' son (R to L) enjoying a coaster ride. Maybe it's just me, but Robby's got that John Brown look going a little bit here.

Tour Poster Promo Tour Poster Color (355 x 344 x 256, 94kb), provided by Glenn Herbert (glenn@vmark.com)

The Maestro sent me this photo of himself, Vicci, and Ronnie James Dio (294kb), circa 1981. It's so cool the stuff that pops up when you least expect it.

Neil Zlowzower has zillions of pictures of guitar legends, including at least one cool one of Kerry. However, he's changed his page so that the direct link to it no longer works, and he changes out his "Classic shots" portfolio from time to time, so it's not always available. Bummer, Neil.

Kansas was inducted into the Rock Walk of Fame in L.A. in 1995. The RockWalk web has this picture.
