SPOONS [U.S.A.] - Definitely Live LP 81

REPOST:  I've had this Spoons band mixed in with the Canadian band for years so am getting all these SPOONS sorted out this week.  Have always dug this album no doubt...well I guess because I just found out he is from MN my home state.  Here is what wiki says:  Chris "Spoons" Daniels (born September 30, 1952) is an American musician, singer, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist. A member of the Colorado Music Hall of Fame, he is best known for his work with Chris Daniels & the Kings, a band he has led since 1984. He is considered an "icon of Colorado music" and is recognized for his role as a member of Magic Music, frequently described as Colorado's first jam band.

Early life and career

Daniels was born in St. Paul, Minnesota, and began playing guitar when he was 10. At seventeen, he moved to the East Coast and performed with several groups, and for a short time played in a band led by David Johansen, who later formed The New York Dolls. In 1971, Daniels moved to Colorado, and in 1972 he joined the acoustic jam band, Magic Music, which would come to be regarded as Colorado's first jam band. In addition to songwriting and singing, Daniels played lead guitar, mandolin, and banjo with Magic Music, whose members included Will Luckey, George Cahill, Bill Makepeace, Navarro/Leftover Salmon bassist Rob Galloway and Kevin Mulburn. The group toured extensively in the United States and appeared at the 2nd and 3rd Telluride Bluegrass Festival. The band broke up in 1976. In 2018 television producer Lee Aronsohn filmed and released an award winning documentary about the band titled, 40 Years in the Making: The Magic Music Movie. He first learned about the band when reading about Daniels.

Daniels subsequently resumed his education, and attended Berklee College of Music and Macalester College. He graduated cum laude from Macalester in 1979.

After receiving his degree, Daniels returned to Colorado and formed Spoons, who in 1981 released the album Definitely Live on Sunshine Records. In 1982, he toured the United States with Russell Smith of the Amazing Rhythm Aces, performing on guitar, mandolin, and banjo. He also founded a late-night concert series called the "After Hours Jam" at the Sheridan Opera House in Telluride, during the Telluride Bluegrass Festival.[6] He was the bandleader and master of ceremonies for the series, which also included performances by others. Daniels met David Bromberg at the After Hours Jam, and they later played together at concerts in Colorado, Chicago, and New York. In 1989, Daniels appeared on Bromberg's album Sideman Serenade.
