    Magic, Banjos and so much more- Meet Bill Palmer: A Man of Legacy Using His Powers for Good

    In Episode #64 of "Hear ye, hear ye, A TX-Style Renaissance Podcast", I sit down with Bill Palmer, the Man behind Merlin the Magician. Merlin the Magician performed and worked at Texas Renaissance Festival for over 25 years. But that is not even half the story; Bill Palmer is a lifetime resident of Houston TX, and he graduated from Rice University, -and is a well-known magician in Houston and throughout the world. Bill learned accordion from his father, a well-known musician and writer of musical books. So, as a teenager, he started Banjo and quickly astounded his teachers. He then wrote his own music book, "How To Play Folk and Bluegrass Banjo," that circulated worldwide. Did I mention, he also speaks German. Well, we shall cover that and more in episode sixty-four of "Hear ye, hear ye A TX-Style Renaissance Podcast." Huzzah! The King

    Striving for Excellence; A man's Passion for the Texas Renaissance

    We invite you to enjoy episode #63 of Hera ye, hear ye; A TX-Style Renaissance Podcast! IN this episode we visit the Once and Future General Manager, Jeff Baldwin. WE recorded this episode in the fall before the release of Ren Faire, the movie. When we spoke with Jeff he was once again the Entertainment director, after serving his second time as General Manager. He talks about the pain of losing the position and the need to return and the happiness of once again being a part of the Festival he cares so much about. Unbeknownst to him at the time of the recording, George Coulam, the volatile genius behind the Texas Renaissance Festival, would ask Jeff to return once again to be TRF's General Manager, a mere few months after this recording. In the episode he discusses returning to the festival and his hopes for the future. IT is a fascinating story of winning, losing, and redemption. Never daunted Jeff continued his mission for excellence. Always looking how best to serve the festival, his passion is unquestioned, it is easy to see why once again he would return to lead the TRF into the future.
