03 May 18 - 10:48 PM (#3922004) Subject: RE: 2018 Obit: Jed Marum From: Stilly River Sage After several years of pestering the Friends of the Library folks at my university they finally agreed that I could invite Jed as the performer for the holiday program. People came out of the regional woodwork - folks I hadn't seen before and who haven't been back since. It was our BEST attended holiday program that I remember in 20 years, and he had the usual delivery of a good singer - the grownup songs the kids in the audience wouldn't understand, seasonal folk and traditional songs, some of his own, and a swap out of several instruments during the performance. There was a quote I wrote down: "No set list survives the performance" and he threw in a couple extra as suited the occasion. He had recently purchased a banjola that he brought along for the evening. I'm glad Don Wall was there to video the performance, most of it is up, one song at a time, on YouTube. |

03 May 18 - 11:36 PM (#3922010) Subject: RE: 2018 Obit: Jed Marum From: GUEST In the non-digital world, I think I met Jed only once. Felt I already knew him because of the presence he was here on Mudcat for so long. Condolences are important, and I offer them here to those of you I know, those whom I don't and those who loved him, even if "condolences' so often seem to have all the insubstantial heft of "thoughts and prayers." It dawned on me (too slowly), years ago when a dear friend passed, that there was much more to do. Sing his songs! Tell his stories! Not because you'll be him, or sound like him (don't try that too hard), but because those things mattered to him. He (or she in a different case) wanted them to live. So now it's down to you. To us. Honor that! - G |

04 May 18 - 12:31 AM (#3922013) Subject: RE: 2018 Obit: Jed Marum From: Big Mick To say my heart is broken is a study in understatement. Jed, Rick, and I all met at the FSGW Getaway in Havre de Grace. We all immediately became fast friends. Jed and I both had long red hair tied in a ponytail. We both had goatees. We looked like brothers. He was tall,, so was I. We performed with Rick at the evening concert. Rick said, as he stood between, that was the first time he ever thought of himself as a little guy. That weekend the trio came by the name of The Beef Brothers. Rick introduced Jed and I into that marvelous Toronto folk community. Jed and I took a ramble out there, that is when we met Paul Mills. We recorded Desolation Island on that trip.When Rick got sick, and the end was near, he anointed Paul to take his place as the third Beef Brother. Jed and I took a number of rambles together Our political conversations were intense. We had very different views. But we both agreed that politics should never come between friends. He always characterized our discussions as being “fierce agreement”. This musical brother of mine was one of the most gifted songwriters and instrumentalists I ever met. To this day I perform a half dozen of his creations on a regular basis. His love song to his beloved Lou was the title track on Soul of a Wanderer. The Banks of the Mobile, about a Civil War nurse who helped Blue and Gray soldiers as they passed over brought this old Veteran to tears. We were doing final mix down with Paul at Millstream. He had painted such a picture with his lyrics that I sat there with tears running down my face. The Locket, The story of his Mom’s life as she succumbed to dementia, reminds us that it doesn’t matter that our loved ones can’t remember our names “Will she know my name at all, and does it really matter after all”. Just think on the depth of understanding in those lyrics. Jed, your voice is easily found in those of us that were your friends. I am playing a Festival the first weekend in June. I am going to insert Desolation Island and Prayer from Little Round Top in the show. I hope you will approve of my version. I will miss our phone conversations, my friend. To Lou and the family, I ache for your loss. I was never once with Jed, or talking to Jed, that he wasn’t speaking with love and pride about you all. Mick |

I spent the evening with Rick Fielding playing some song s and generally passing the time as a storm came in off Lake Ontario. The first time since I owned it that my Ode five string played was ever played. When I left he said, " Here, give this a listen, I think you will like it." The CD was The Soul of A Wanderer. By the time I reached Syracuse I think I knew every song on the CD and I have spun it every week ever since. The few times I conversed with Jed was in this forum. When Jeri posted on a Facebook thread that he had passed I was stunned. He was one of those friends that we rarely see but his presence is felt. I will miss the music that was yet to come. Don |

04 May 18 - 08:57 PM (#3922225) Subject: RE: 2018 Obit: Jed Marum From: Jeri The first time I heard Jed was on Max's old "Mudcat Radio" show. I thought he was really good, and wondered why I'd never hear of him. Apparently, the self-recorded "Streets of Fall River" had just come out. (I think it was 2000, but I'm not sure.) Jed sent me the CD. Jed also sent me all of his CDs as they came out, and a few demos before they came out. He loved music, and he was generous. I believe it was Rick Fielding who encouraged him to commit to a music career. I don't think Jed ever regretted doing so. No question he loved music. No question he loved his wife and whole family. He was just a really good guy, and everyone who had met him, wanted to see him again. |

13 May 18 - 03:04 PM (#3924159) Subject: RE: 2018 Obit: Jed Marum From: keberoxu In the last ten years, Jed Marum included, in his tour itinerary, a performance at the coffeehouse of the Canton, Massachusetts, public library. This is significant as it was his first Canton appearance, and, as "Wicked Local Canton" notices observed, "Marum grew up in Canton and attended Gridley, Hemenway, Canton Junior High, and Canton High Schools." According to the very short soundbite there (dating back to 2011), Jed Marum had moved to Texas by the time he began making music on a professional basis. I have made several searches online for anything in Massachusetts that carries notice of Jed Marum's passing. The searches have met with failure, although I have searched: boston.com the Boston Globe Fall River's newspaper, the Herald News the Wicked Local regional sites (Massachusetts) |

Then he came to the Getaway, and lots of us met him. This haunts me, and I haven't stopped thinking about it at all. It's definitely bad that he's gone, but leaving at the musical/creative top of your game, surrounded by loved ones and friends, and without pain or suffering, and feeling pretty good, actually, is not a bad end. It's just really hard to figure out why I, and many of us, managed to out-live him. I figure a few of us are wondering about that. It's good to love while we can love. |

17 May 18 - 12:11 PM (#3925245) Subject: RE: 2018 Obit: Jed Marum From: GUEST,SINSULL I just heard and like everyone else I am in shock. Jed did a few house concerts at my home and Deb Coward's. He was so amazingly talented. Sometimes when he spoke about a new acting project he just lit up. The best times were early morning breakfast the day after the concerts. I never knew who would walk in the door. The banjos and guitars would come out and the new songs would be tried out. Absolute magic. Come Back Katie was one of my favorites. Damn. Jed loved his family, his music, his politics and his God. He was a gentleman and a gentle man. Go sing with the angels, Rick and Spaw. |

"Jed Jam" will take place on Sunday June 24, 2018 from 2-6 pm at Poor David's Pub in Dallas. There will be a number of scheduled performers, maybe a few impromptu performances, and plenty of time for stories and remembrances of Jed. The bar will be open for sales, and I'm sure more than a few toasts will wish Jed well on his way. Should you wish, you are welcome to bring finger foods, munchies or sweet things to share, but nothing is needed but your presence. Poor David's Pub is located at 1313 S. Lamar St., Dallas, TX 75215 and there is plenty of parking available behind the building. On behalf of the family they look forward to seeing everyone and thanking you all in person for the amazing outpouring of love and support this community sent to them in the wake of Jed's untimely passing. Please come and help celebrate the life and music of this wonderful and much loved man, Gerald "Jed" Steven Marum. |

31 Aug 18 - 02:51 PM (#3947352) Subject: RE: Obit: Jed Marum - May 1952 - May 2018 From: GUEST Hello All, There will be another gathering of musicians, friends and family in memory and honor of Jed. This one will be in the town where he attended high school, Northborough MA. It is on October 14th at 1:00. Folks are invited an encouraged to play, speak, sing or simply be present. There is a facebook event but it seems to be private. You may be able to see it if you visit his brother, Tom Marum's, page. If you want to participate you are asked to let Tom know so some structure can be put to the afternoon. If you have trouble accessing the event, post here and I will forward the message. ~long time friend to Jed and guest to Mudcat, Karen McCarthy |

I didn't know Jed but from what I read here he's the sort of guy I would have liked as a friend. I'm distantly related and live in Australia. Until a few weeks ago I'd never heard of Jed Marum, but in my genealogy research I was doing some DNA matches and his kit came up as a distant match for mine, so I emailed him. The email bounced, but since it was a match on a very interesting part of the family I decided to Google the name, and that's when I found this thread. I'm sorry I missed you big fella, but in my own way I paid my respects, by creating a WikiTree profile for you. Requiesce in pace. Jed Marum on WikiTree |

And now I understand that he has passed on. I am saddened by this news and can only hope that his music lives on with everyone who knew him. |
