[Sca-cooks] Sad News

Oh, my god!  I was just thinking about him yesterday as I was packing up
cassettes in anticipation of moving out my now-ex's stuff, and Silversongs
was among them.  I am sitting here by the light of a wonderful mermaid lamp
Jed gave me as a thank-you for letting him stay here while he was looking
for jobs here in Atlanta once.  At one time I had a couple of cases of his
albums for sale, I think I'm down to two records in my personal collection
now.  He was not that old, I can't believe he passed away from natural
causes, but it just goes to show you never know when your number is up.
Please pass along funeral information, I might just have to drive down to
Tallahassee.
Sadly,
Christianna

This is from Master Morric on the Oldenfeld list.  I am just in shock.

Master Jed Siverstar, mka Jed O'Connor, passed away in his home
yesterday, of natural causes.  He is survived by his sister Kim.

Master Jed was one of the founding members of the bardic tradition in
Trimaris, and it could be argued its brightest star.  His
album, "Silversongs", was the first published record album in the
Society, and those who have it guard their vinyl jealously - its
songs of beauty and the Arthurian legend are classics, and a standard
to which all SCA bards must measure their work.  This is a great loss
for the Society, and for those who never had the pleasure of hearing
him perform, a greater loss still.

Arrangements have yet to be finalized, but a service is anticipated
in Tallahassee.

Master Morric, Trimaris
