On this episode of Drumming News Network host Paul ”The Rog” Rogne talks with Phil Ehart of Kansas. They are talking in support of his new release Kansas “Another Fork In The Road - 50 Years of Kansas”.
Paul states: “This was a thrill for me as Phil and his band Kansas has been a part of my life, since I can remember. Their songs were some of the top hits of the 70’s and 80’s, and during all of this time they remained relevant and have had a celebrated career for 50 years and counting.”
In this interview Phil and Paul talk about the release, his career, and the following topics:
- How an early incarnation of Kansas performed live on stage with the Doors, and stunningly, on the very last song the Doors ever played.
- We talk about his history with Neil Peart and hear the story of how Neil Peart approached Phil Ehart to try to get a Slingerland endorsement and how Slingerland turned Neil down, repeatedly.
- Talk about signing with Zildjian the same day as Larry London (Elvis, Dolly Parton, Garth Brooks, #1 on call Nashville drummer), performing at Zildjian days, advice he have to Larry London about clinics, and we talk about Zildjian’s 400th year celebration and his inclusion into the Zildjian 400th anniversary book that will be released this year, featuring 400 drummers.

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
