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.

Who would like to meet in a park in the Tulsa Metro like Bixby's Haikey Creek Park (pictured) to discuss Renfaire experiences or ideas for bringing a Renfaire back to Tulsa? Vendors: Want to bounce ideas off of someone about what kind of things to sell? Performers: Have a new song or part of an act you want to try out? Patrons: Anything you want to see at Renfaires that could be brought to their attention? If any of these things appeal to you, send an e-mail to craig@meistersrealm.com or a message on the Book of Faces to Meisters Realm. Let me know what part of town you would like to meet at & what time on Saturday, October 17th. The sooner the response, the more time I would have to see if I can reserve a shelter. If we can have a successful get-together, we can look at doing these routinely. Huzzah!
If you seek 1 more Celtic event in Oklahoma, visit Stillwater on Saturday, September 26th. The "Halfway To Saint Paddy's Day Celtic Fest" will have music, Highland Games, sheep herding & more. https://www.block34live.com/halfway-st-paddys

Tune in to Renfest Info And Fun Podcast 2026 25 for a musical journey to places one would hear of at a Renfest.

Need a Renfaire fix in the Air Conditioning this weekend? You can visit Joplin's Jomocon to visit with members of Vinita, Oklahoma's Queensferry Renaissance Festival and Joplin, Missouri's Silver Sage Renaissance Festival. Those are a couple of premiere spring events in the region. Huzzah! https://www.facebook.com/jomoconcommittee
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
