Ties that bind, Susan. Ties that bind.

Ebbie, if there is an 'on high', as I have the impression Jed believed, I imagine him grabbing a banjo from the clouds as he headed up.

It just feel like the last whimper of Mudcat. I know we go on.... but why?

After the initial shock, my first thought was that Rick, Spaw and Jed are together again. Imagine the music!

I saw this at work, but didn't have time to respond, plus, I didn't quite believe it.
I still don't.
Figured Jed'd be around a long, long time.

Love to his family and friends.

Shocked and saddened to hear of this. Had the pleasure of meeting him a few times. Definitely a gentleman, as well as a fine musician.

Rest in Peace, Jed. Deepest condolences to his family.

Sorry to hear
Jed played for Pacific NW Folklore at least a couple of times in Seattle. He was a first-rate musician, a good friend, and Civil War buff. We will all miss him.

I feel so lucky to have known Jed. I will miss him, his music, and the occasional house concert and next morning breakfast up here in Maine.

Kim C, Jed always had really nice things to say about you.

Sorry for the previous blank post. ;-)

I met Jed through this forum and we visited in person a few times over the years and even performed together once at a Civil War history event. He was always supportive of my efforts, and for that I am eternally grateful.

Oh NOOOOO - I am so sorry to hear this. I always found his posts, and his knowledge of Civil War history, informative and interesting. Heartbreaking to think that there will be no more from him, and that his music is stilled.

Raising a parting glass to you tonight, Jed. Rest easy.

Sad to report that long-time Mudcatter and my friend Jed Marum passed away suddenly on 2 May 2018 at his home in Dallas, Texas. Requiescat in pace
