Rest In Peace Robbie Steinhardt, original violinist & co-lead singer of Kansas. He & Cindy were frequent visitors to the show over the last few years. #RobbySteinhardt #kansasband #raidingtherockvault pic.twitter.com/F7zobJZbaq

My day was officially wrecked when I heard #RobbySteinhardt passed away. He was my first celebrity interview when I started writing for local music magazines. I managed to catch #kansas leaving a show several years later and he was gracious enough to pose for a pic with me. pic.twitter.com/8GCSOHxQiJ

My first psychedelic experience began in a cramped backseat during a long drive with no CD player to a campground……everything was very scary until "Point of Know Return" came on the radio and, for some reason, made everything better, RIP Robby Steinhardt https://t.co/jl1hIgkd21

My heart is heavy today with the news of the passing of #Kansas violinist/vocalist #RobbySteinhardt. I was honored to know him and call him friend. Robby was a very kind-hearted, generous, funny, humble man. Pray for his loving wife and daughter. #Wheathead Nation grieves. pic.twitter.com/P19s1fS8Pe
