Got my CD just yesterday and it is fantastic. Glad to be able to help and also get a lot of great artists and songs as well.

Just placed my order for the CD. I will gladly offer what help I can for the Bard of Hollygrove, although it has been many years since I have seen him perform.

Question: I have had my CD for a week now and it is great, and I know Rio and a few others will be selling them at the Michigan Faire as well. Does anyone know if there is another "Owain Back Stage" pass being sold for RESCU as well this year? I will be coming to Mich Faire as usual this fall and I would like to get another one.

Thanks

From fb update...

This was posted by Jamie Haeuser, who has been our liaison between Owain Phyfe's and his wife Paula, and the rest of the Renaissance Festival world:
"We need prayers and thoughts and energy. We need love and light for Lady Paula."
For those who do not know him, Owain is probably the best interpreter and performer of true renaissance songs to ever grace a Renaissance Festival stage. He has a very aggressive cancer, and I would consider it a personal favor if any of you (even if you don't know him or his music) to include them in your prayers for the next few days.
Thank you.

My heart sinks at hearing this.  He played at Peoria in June, and when I told him that we've missed him for so many years not being at Bristol, he said he'd love to come back.  I told him I would write to the entertainment director and ask for him to come back.

He looked great in June, and sounded great as well.  It must have happened pretty quickly, and when I first found out, I started praying for him.  He is so well-loved.  Many, many times at Bristol this summer, at the end of their shows, different entertainers asked the audience to keep Owain in their thoughts and prayers, even if they didn't know who he was.

Update from Jamie over on the "We Love Owain Phyfe" fb page....

So here's a Paula update - nice long chat with her yesterday. She continues in fine form; she has lots of support there. Their two sons live there, and people are doing chores for her. The two boys next door grew up to have a lawn business and are doing her gardening. She is at the hospital a lot, but also has time for her "altar" in her kitchen. She asked me to again tell you all how much the funding, love and prayers mean to Owain and to her.

I'm sure we all continue to keep Owain, Lady Paula and their family in our hearts and prayers...

Facebook posts are reporting that Owain has passed away. I would hope this isn't true.

Sadly, I believe Merlin is correct.  I just logged into Facebook and his page is full of well wishes as he travels beyond.  I came here to see if I could find confirmation of what I was reading. 

My heart is heavy.

Yes, I heard that Owain had passed away as well.  My husband had the honor of playing along side Owain at the St. Louis
Renaissance Faire for many years.  He shall be greatly missed.

Unfortunately it is true. Owain passed quietly away today surrounded by family. God has called him home to play for him. And what better person to do so. He will be truly missed.

I wasn't privileged to know Owain as well as the rest of you, but I'm blessed to have met him and been charmed by his magic voice. Fair winds, Owain, 'till we all meet again.

We've all been down today since we heard the news. My daughter was almost sobbing. Such a good man with a great heart. I'm SO glad we made sure to see him Memorial Day weekend & have him sing my daughters favorite song one more time.
