Iron Bess Posted September 23, 2003 Share Posted September 23, 2003 I am very, very heart sore to report that dear Amethyst, the lead singer of the *Belles of Bedlam* passed away last evening following complications of heart surgery. I'm not sure how many of you may have known this wonderful group but they entertain at RPFS, RPFN and at Faires all over. I know many of you must have seen tham and perhaps, even have known them. Am was a gifted and genuine soul that has left us too early. This post is simply to pass along this sad news to any that might wish to know. Well, you may not realize it but your looking at the remains of what was once a very handsome woman! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lucky Penny Hawkings Posted September 23, 2003 Share Posted September 23, 2003 Got wind of this last night.. I think I might have seen her once, but at a distance. She'll definitely be missed...

Mad Gracie Posted September 23, 2003 Share Posted September 23, 2003 dear Amethyst, the lead singer of the *Belles of Bedlam* passed away last evening I've just heard the news via e-mail. I'm so sad. No, I didn't know her personally, I've only talked with her before. But mostly, she brought us and so many others much joy with her song and wit. She will be very much missed. My prayers to those who were close to her. I shall light a candle and raise a toast in her honor. ~MG~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scupper Posted September 23, 2003 Share Posted September 23, 2003 I had never met her. But I have chatted with her from time to time. She had sent me a couple of MP3's of a few songs which were sadly lost when my computer crashed a month ago. Her talent and spirit will sorely be missed. Scupper "That's the navy for you.

The Touring Gentleman Posted September 23, 2003 Share Posted September 23, 2003 I only met her once, but I sang along with her - and the rest of the Belles - enough to remember the clover song. She was a talented performer with a strong stage presense and a keen sense of timing. We'll miss her voice and the smiles she brought.

Cap'n Knifehand Ken Posted September 24, 2003 Share Posted September 24, 2003 I did not know this songbird ye speak of, but me sympathies go to 'er kin an friends. The pirate Knifehand Ken captured many galleons, killing over five-hundred men in cold blood. He would tear the captains hearts out and swallow them whole. Often forcing his victims to eat their own lips. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
