Classic Rock that Really Rocks!

If you like that rock'n'roll stuff the kids are always listening to, like I do, you will be amazed by this.

Have you heard the classic rock song "Carry On Wayward Son" by Kansas before? Of course you have. Have you heard it played solo by a grade-school age Japanese girl on an electric synthesizer before? Not like this. You go, girl!

Todd, thanks for this! I never read the story, but vividly remember seeing this cartoon in grade school as a film strip (complete with stereotypical blurry audio). I've never thought to look for it on YouTube though.

I wonder if Sarah Weinman would mind if I copycatted her and posted the film also.

She would not, I'm sure. She didn't put up the YouTube clip, and even if she did....

I caught Kansas’ sweat rag at Music Midtown in ‘03 lol. Kid is pretty good! Just goes to show how easily good music can cross any barriers

This is one of my alltime favorite non-Beatles classic rock tunes. This girl's version grabbed my attention from the beginning!
