The Renaissance Is Coming

I ran across a post in the renaissancefestival.com forums that had an inspiring positive remark at the end. While it was a 2020 cancellation notice, the BubbleWright ended saying "Remember that after the plague comes the Renaissance!"
That was very uplifting to me. I can't believe how quickly half of this dreadful year has already passed. However, we're just 7 months away from the prospect of 2021 faires, let alone the fall season of many of these wonderful events returning.
Faire-wise, this year has been the pits! I don't know how I made it without my routine escapes from the Rat Race, let alone all of the bad news. I got to dress up a few times for videos, made a new archery target stand, am working on a new target, bought some outstanding cd's from Jesse Linder and got a new quiver as well.
I feel deeply sorry for the performers and vendors who have been deeply affected by a lack of venues to frequent. I've been praying for that group and the other patrons who have been missing out on our special world.
However, the tide will turn back in our favor. We'll get back to seeing our fairemilies sooner than it seems and we will appreciate our faires even more. When our faires approach, it will be a great time to advertise to those who have never made it to a Renfaire so they can forget about all the crazy goings on of the modern world.
Good times will be had by all; for the Renaissance is coming! Huzzah!

This podcast with Dan Zielinski of the Jenks Planetarium discusses how many people in the Medieval & Renaissance times depended on tracking the stars to survive.
Have you heard of Copernicus? His contribution to earth is discussed as well. He was definitely a rebel who feared for his life due to his discovery.
I hope that you enjoy it.
I plan to bring more NEW content to my podcast this month as well as over the summer.
You can find my podcasts on Apple, iHeart, Podbean, Amazon, Player FM and/or Podchaser.
The interview is also available on my YouTube channel at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oOEeZOaM4vM
I plan to bring BRAND NEW content to my podcast very soon. (That being a difficult task in the middle of Renfaire season since I am blessed to be able to travel to so many of them.)

I interviewed Tina Nettles in my 3rd podcast. Her YouTube channel is called "Thorny Nettles". This is the link to the videos she made promoting the former King's Medieval Faire: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dYa1k0w-wMc&list=PLcbBgYZwoN_QqFPm6Vm8yp5yTC59ZujEM
All of the performers gracious enough to let me play their music have their own FB page, website or can be found on music sites like Apple Music. If you can't locate 1 that you like, please send me a message. ENJOY!
