By Judy Hackemeyer, The Journal Staff
Simon and Michelle Casas native Californians now living in Lee's Summit, have found the good life in the Midwest.
That's why Simon and his band West Heart, have named their newly-released single' "Living in the Land of Oz and loving it."
Back in another lifetime' Simon and Michelle decided to move away from Los Angeles. So they played a little map game.
They would get out a map of the United States and point to different cities, saying, "Maybe we could move there." Eventually, Simon would point to Kansas City and say,"What about Kansas City? It's in the middle of everything." And Michelle would reply, I wouldn't go to Kansas City, that's like moving to Siberia."
