A Fitting Tribute Song
Craigmeister • June 20, 2021
The duo Ezndil played with Jesse Linder many times at Renfaires across the country, most recently at the Oklahoma Renfest in 2019. This year, they paid a tribute to him by playing his song "Crescent Moon". I believe that they have done a wonderful job.
Jesse Linder traveled across the country singing at Renfaires in California, Florida, Texas, Oklahoma, his home faire of Bristol and many more. He was a part of the group Three Pints Gone before he went solo. Although he wouldn't have admitted it, he was kind of "a big deal" on the Ren Circuit. Most of us Okies just didn't know it when he played his only year at Castleton in 2019 since he was new here. Sadly, he departed this world last summer due to kidney problems. I'm sure he is bringing great joy now with the choirs in Heaven.
You can find many videos of Jesse & Ezndil on YouTube. Jesse also has a book of faces page where you can still order his cd's. I have several of them myself. His powerful voice brought character, strength & beauty to the songs that he sang.

For your viewing pleasure, Meister's Realm Public Service Announcement # 11 is now available. Want an alternative to experiencing a Ren or Scotfest in the searing heat or bone-chilling cold? Visiting such an event from the past is the next best thing... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c3qjjzHFQq0
Good day! Would you like to buy fireworks & support a local Renfest at the same time? You can go just west of Sand Springs (& Tulsa) to do just that. You can probably see some familiar faces at the same time. Help the Queensferry Renaissance Festival build up funds to bring excellent acts, maintain their grounds & pay for annual administrative items by buying things that go "BOOM" in the night (& day). Huzzah! https://www.facebook.com/events/1328177275961614?acontext=%7B%22event_action_history%22%3A%5B%7B%22surface%22%3A%22home%22%7D%2C%7B%22mechanism%22%3A%22attachment%22%2C%22surface%22%3A%22newsfeed%22%7D%5D%2C%22ref_notif_type%22%3Anull%7D
Tune in as I re-live my visits inside the gates in Oklahoma's Renfaire offerings this past spring. I also provide a few hints on how to improve Renfaires and give some hints as to what will is forthcoming from Meister's Realm this summer. What is "Sew Unusually Knotted". It is all spelled out in this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NhyyMKoQ3BY
Good day! Here are 2 of my new Public Service Announcements. I do hope that you enjoy them and can put the information to enjoyable use. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2ZM5jCOjnBc&list=PL7U5kfgxZIn58vjFlsRHsaDMUOxau1zUJ&index=9 ~ PSA # 9: How to find specific info and photos of Missouri & Oklahoma Renfaires. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=COJRzpENMmg ~ PSA # 10: Where to find quality archery equipment to join the amazing world of archery.
Good day. I am re-posting this link to a tour of different parks in Tulsa County that would be aptly suited to host a Renaissance Faire. If you have questions about any of them, prithee feel free to contact me at craig@meistersrealm.com If you would like to see them in person some Saturday or Sunday over the next month (before it gets hot), I can meet you & show you the different grounds. Tulsa is too big to not have its own Renfaire. If you could get 1% of the Metro population in the gates, that would be 8,000 - 10,000 patrons. That would be an amazing start! I know some people who would be willing to join the governing board and help put the event on as well. We can do this! Huzzah! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l6wdSba0848
Did you hear my interview with Dan Zielinski on Renfest Info And Fun podcast 2025 09? He runs the Planetarium in Jenks, OK. Well, Jenks Public Schools have decided to close their planetarium after this school year without hearing from the public or students. This is the Best planetarium in 3 states due to Dan's enthusiasm. The cost of its upkeep is much less than what Jenks spends on its sports programs and it serves all grades and the public. Could you please sign this petition to help keep it open? https://www.change.org/p/save-the-jenks-planetarium?recruiter=1173602455&recruited_by_id=4e6fa8f0-53c7-11eb-9205-7583bb47344e&utm_source=share_petition&utm_campaign=psf_promote_or_share&utm_medium=facebook&utm_content=fht-491187842-en-us%3A8&share_id=kBy4CbJygB
