ST3V Posted July 20, 2021 Share Posted July 20, 2021 Apparently he was in the middle of making his own solo album... got a bunch of great musicians for it. Hope we get to hear the demos sometime if there are even any recorded 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gerkildare Posted July 20, 2021 Share Posted July 20, 2021 Very sad to hear this last night.RIP Robby - you made the Kansas sound a unique one. Entre_Perpetuo - my favourite Robby moment [well, currently anyhow!] is 'Lightning's Hand' from the POKR album, he's all over that tune vocally and violin-ally.That's not to diminish any of his other excellent work tho'. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a good Robby tune, which is saying a lot when you consider it's really a dual-guitar showcase. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fraroc Posted July 21, 2021 Share Posted July 21, 2021 Ive always been a bigger fan of David Ragsdale, but Robby Steinhardt was the one who wrote those amazing violin parts and made it all possible. He gave Kansas an identity, something that makes them known....the rock band with a violin. Nowadays you'll have a huge number of prog metal and power metal bands that feature an electric violinist, but the band that really started that trend and made the violin cool was Kansas....And that's all thanks to Robby...Rest in peace <3 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[perhaps you mean just in US?]Don't forget Mahavishnu, Jean Luc Ponty [before/with/after Zappa] - here in Ireland we had Horslips with Charles O'Connor on violin/fiddle from '71/'72 onwards.So - granted it's not common, but it's not unusual either!But I get what you're saying - Robby was a groundbreaker.;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was my mom’s desire. Mine was to be a guitarist.By the time I was 16, I was developing competence on the guitar, and the violin had become a bit of an afterthought, until one day, I was in my car with the radio on and for the first time I heard Kansas. I’m almost positive the song was “Can I Tell You.” That was the first time I remember thinking, “Hey, maybe this violin thing isn’t such a bad idea after all.” -Ragsdale in 2014 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He made a joke -- it wasn't an awesome joke, but it was harmless, so no need to go overboard like he had said something truly disrespectful. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am under no obligation to view the death of someone I hadn't even heard of before this with an attitude that you approve of, so take your po-faced pompousness and shove it where the sun doesn't shine, ok?
