Kansas, "Dust in the Wind"

   Below is a link to YouTube's video of the musical group Kansas' performance of "Dust in the Wind" which I mentioned in today's class.  I believe this comes from a studio recording in about 1977.  The song was very popular.  The group is still active, though the personnel has changed.  They played with the UM Orchestra last fall, I believe, and a video of that performance is also posted on YouTube.  You may notice some contrast between the music and the bleakness of the lyrics.
