		The typical contract on which the band and the city seem to have settled upon by the mid-point of the century provided for not less than ten weekly concerts, free and open to the public, with the possibility left open for further concerts deemed necessary for "worthy civic enterprise where their services might be needed."
		Norvell was appointed conductor of the band on February 7, 1950 and by the time he retired the post had led the band longer than all of his five predecessors combined.

	Kansas - A Musical And Lyrical History Of The Band Kansas - article at Angelic Warlord
		The end result was the second version of Kansas that, for the most part, was a musical continuation of Kansas I in which the band tried to be as unorthodox and original as it possibly could.
		Kansas sounds a bit rough around the edges production wise - the band was rushed in the studio and most of its tracks were done in one take - but it helped serve to showcase Kansas' potential.
		Masque, Kansas' third full length album in only a year and a half, finds the band dealing with increased pressure from the record company to move in a more commercial direction while, at the same time, sticking to their principals of artistic freedom.

		Kansas' debut and their second album, 1975's _Song For America_, were the two main albums from Kansas' 70s output that did not receive the remastering treatment on the Epic/Legacy label.
		The band had already been playing together a few years before the release of this album, so this may contribute to the impressive gelling of ideas, and overall, accomplished musicianship exhibited here.
		Kansas is more accessible than many other prog-rock bands because they are not afraid to trim back the pretension and deliver something as visceral as the tremendous "Belexes," or "Can I Tell You?" And they're distinctly American.

		But before the world renowned Kansas line-up of Livgren, Steve Walsh, Richard Williams, Robby Steinhardt, Dave Hope and Phil Ehart broke into the national spotlight on Don Kirshner’s Rock Concert, there was another Kansas comprised of Livgren and a band of childhood friends.
		After departing from the famous Kansas line-up in 19'83, Livgren formed a Christian based band deeply entrenched in his progressive rock roots called AD with former Kansas bassist, Dave Hope.
		And Kansas had fallen apart so we took the Kansas name and that became the Kansas band that everybody knows.
