From the Vinyl Cafe web site: Stuart McLean was a best-selling author, award-winning journalist and humorist, and host of CBC Radio program The Vinyl Cafe.

Stuart began his broadcasting career making radio documentaries for CBC Radio's Sunday Morning. In 1979 he won an ACTRA award for Best Radio Documentary for his contribution to the program's coverage of the Jonestown massacre.

Following Sunday Morning, Stuart spent seven years as a regular columnist and guest host on CBC's Morningside. His book, The Morningside World of Stuart McLean, was a Canadian bestseller and a finalist in the 1990 City of Toronto Book Awards.

Stuart has also written Welcome Home: Travels in Small Town Canada, and edited the collection When We Were Young. Welcome Home was chosen by the Canadian Authors' Association as the best non-fiction book of 1993.

Stuart's books Stories from the Vinyl Cafe, Home from the Vinyl Cafe, Vinyl Cafe Unplugged, Vinyl Cafe Diaries, Dave Cooks the Turkey, Secrets from the Vinyl Cafe and Extreme Vinyl Cafe have all been Canadian bestsellers. Vinyl Cafe Diaries was awarded the Canadian Authors' Association Jubilee Award in 2004. Stuart was also a three-time winner of the Stephen Leacock Memorial Medal for Humour for Home from the Vinyl Cafe, Vinyl Cafe Unplugged and, most recently, Secrets from the Vinyl Cafe.

Vinyl Cafe books have also been published in the U.S., the U.K., Australia and New Zealand.

Stuart was a professor emeritus at Ryerson University in Toronto and former director of the broadcast division of the School of Journalism. In 1993 Trent University named him the first Rooke Fellow for Teaching, Writing and Research. He has also been honored by: Nipissing University (EdD(H)); University of Windsor (Lld) and Trent University (DLH). Stuart served as Honorary Colonel of the 8th Air Maintenance Squadron at 8 Wing, Trenton from 2005 to 2008.

Since 1998 Stuart has taken The Vinyl Cafe to theatres across Canada, playing in both large and small towns from St. John's, Newfoundland to Whitehorse in the Yukon.

Close to one million people listen to The Vinyl Cafe every weekend on CBC Radio and Sirius Satellite Radio and on a growing number of Public Radio stations in the United States. The program is also broadcast on an occasional basis on the BBC.

Absolutely hilarious!

Stuart McLean's passing truly touched us deeply. We all miss his broadcasts so very much. The wonderful music he played was always a delight to the ears. But what we miss the most are his enchanting, funny, and moving stories. They had the power to transport us to different worlds and make us feel a whole range of emotions.

This is a wonderful book. It is a collection of some of his best stories, carefully curated to bring joy and laughter to our lives. Each story is a gem, filled with his unique sense of humor and his ability to find the beauty and the absurd in everyday life.

Reading this book is like sitting down with Stuart himself and listening to him tell his tales. It is a truly magical experience that will leave you with a smile on your face and a warm feeling in your heart.

You can vividly picture Dave and the family every step of the way.

It's as if you are right there with them, experiencing their joys and sorrows.

This disc holds a special place in my heart.

I have a deep affection for "The Jock Strap".

It's not just a song or a track on the disc; it's an experience.

The旋律, the lyrics, everything about it speaks to me.

It takes me to a different world, a world where I can let go of all my worries and just enjoy the moment.

Whenever I listen to it, I feel a sense of peace and tranquility wash over me.

It's like a warm embrace on a cold day.

I highly recommend this disc to anyone who loves good music.

It's truly a gem that you don't want to miss.
