Written by Kansas band member Kerry Livgren in 1977, Dust in the Wind is one of a handful of pop songs featuring the viola. In this live version recorded nearly four decades later, the band shares the stage with a full string orchestra. Lead vocalist Steve Walsh hits every note!

Victor Borge (Pianist, Conductor, Comedian)
The difference between a violin and a viola is that a viola burns longer.
