So, maybe you don't see blues so much in Styx's music but it is definitely part of Tommy's early music.

And for REO - they get to play for some Styx fans and then we get to play in front of some REO fans. It helps spread the new music to the following of other bands.

Ten years ago, in 94, we thought maybe nobody would ever care about Styx again.

But there are rock and roll fans all over this continent and all over the globe, really, and we're just set at marking the planet with Styx music until the day we die.

And I said - Styx - as a musical group it is our place to reflect the light that is shining on us back onto this place and say - this is where so much great stuff started.

When I went to see Kansas and Queen and Styx, I don't even remember the music. But I know what I saw.
