Easy Like Sunday Morning Track - Dust in the Wind by Kansas

You're my boy Blue!

Today's Easy Like Sunday Morning Track is Dust in the Wind by Kansas. This classic is off of the band's 1977 album Point of Know Return. The guitar line was originally just a finger picking exercise used by guitarist Kerry Livgren. His wife liked it and encouraged him to write lyrics for it.

While this song has always been a hit, it gained new life in 2003 when it was featured in the movie Old School. Will Ferrell's character sings this at the funeral for their pledge Joseph "Blue" Pulasky who was in his 80s. The actor died in real life just a couple of years after the movie. I wonder what they sang at his funeral. RIP Blue!



Here is the Old School Scene.
