Will add to this as I find things that may no longer be shiney new but are a good resource that would be a shame to lose.

If you have something you would like to add just PM me with the information and the link.

This is an amazing place to get lost in when you have some time and are in the mood to experiment.
A wander through the offerings convinced me this is a fascinating collection - so far have found only two I remember but that's kind of the point I guess - -
Those of you who have a lot of knowledge of 80's music will have a great time.

Spoonful James - background info
Opening bands! - Posted At: 08-02-2007


Spoonful James is the name of Wynn Christian's band - he and Taylor have been friends for many years going back to Taylor's time at Auburn - - they sat in with each other and even played together for a while in one of Taylor's early bands, Fletch Lives

" A few months later we put together a random group, consisting of players from three different bands, to play Tuesdays during the summer at Bottcher’s. Appropriately enough, we called the band Fletch Lives. If my memory serves, we covered everything from Jimmy Cliff to the Grateful Dead that summer."

Additional tidbits

remembered Spoonful James opened for Taylor early in his Spring tour too
had to go find out where - it was in Columbus, GA - - nice article btw

also found the Taylor connection for the band that just opened for Taylor in Branson - Adam Hood -
seems Patrick Lunceford - the drummer that played with Taylor in Passing Through - now plays with Adam Hood

from his myspace
" When I'm not touring with Adam Hood, I play with Spoonful James, Wynn Christian, Tony Brook Band w/ Jaime Lyn Barber, Sam Stone, and, occasionally, Taylor Hicks. "

And just 'cause I like blurbs from the past - in reference to Grace Potter's CD featured on the old GC website with ordering link to Laser's Edge - Duff also said

" OK and Gray is donating $$ to the Waitsfield VT fire dept. too. LOL
AND if you have not ever ordered from Fred at Laser's Edge, please consider it. His small store is a magical place for all who love music. And he is one of the nicest guys ever. I was one of the first people to find his number and call him for Taylor's "Under the Radar".. maybe back in Feb. during AI. He was amazed that I was calling from Vermont and we had a great visit (little did he know what events were to come about !). During the M&G at his store, Tom and I chatted with him, and in all the chaos, left him some free pint coupons from Ben and Jerrys. He made a point of tracking me down to say thanks when he found them on his desk a few weeks later. "
