Tonight’s mystery artist had a hit song that started out as a finger exercise for the guitar. Think you know the song or the band??

This information came from a trailer for a film about the band that was released in 2014 called ‘Kansas – Miracles Out Of Nowhere’  In the film it is  who tells of a guitar exercise that turned into ‘Dust In The Wind’ Kerry Livgren says it really started out a  guitar exercise before morphing into what would be their biggest chart single.

‘Kansas – Miracles Out Of Nowhere’ looks to be an interesting film and covers everything from the forming of the band to their naïveté that had them signing way 30 million albums worth of publishing. Ouch.  Live performances have always been the band specialty. Lauded by of Queens Brian May He says the first time he heard them play he turned to Freddie and said Sh*! They sound like they’re a record.

Now, even though 'Dust in the Wind' was their highest charting song our featured song for tonight is considered the song that really launched their career.
