Clio, MI -- The members of REO Speedwagon are getting older, but the fans keep getting younger.

That's what keyboardist Kevin Cronin has discovered in the last few years and he admits it's gratifying because "there was a time in the early '90s when the audience was just dwindling."

These days, Cronin says Speedwagon shows are nicely divided between the old fans of "Keep On Loving You" and "Can't Fight This Feeling," and kids under 30 who have discovered the group on their own.

REO Speedwagon hasn't released an album of new material since 1997, but Cronin says the group still works on music even if it's "...so the road crew can hear some new songs."

Cronin says the group plans to go into the studio next year for a new album but, for now, they're busy promoting "The Essential REO Speedwagon," a two-CD package that he compares to "looking at a high school yearbook."
