Librarian Note: There was more than one author in the Goodreads database with this name.

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.

I have several works by this author sitting on my To Be Read (TBR) pile that I haven't had the chance to get to yet. However, I recently came across one of his books at the library.

I must say that I really enjoyed this short collection. The author's writing performance was truly excellent. The stories he presented were not only hilarious but also highly relatable. It was as if he had a deep understanding of the human experience and was able to translate it into entertaining and engaging narratives.

After reading this collection, I am definitely going to reach for his books on my TBR pile and enjoy some more of his wonderful writing. I have a feeling that there are many more great stories waiting for me to discover.

I would highly recommend this author to anyone who enjoys reading humorous and relatable stories. His work has the power to make you laugh out loud and also touch your heart. So, if you're looking for a good read, give this author a try. You won't be disappointed.

So, yesterday I was painting my room and decided to listen to "The Vinyl Café". I had been told by numerous people that it was hilarious and that I simply HAD to give it a try. Well, it was a relatively short listen, only about 2 hours. To be honest, some parts were indeed funny, but for the most part, it just didn't quite hit the mark for me. Maybe this particular episode wasn't one of the good ones. However, I knew that listening to it would at least give me an idea of whether I liked the host's stuff or not. It did manage to pass the time while I was painting, so that was something. Now that I've heard it, I can say I've been there and done that! Lol. I'm not sure if I will listen to it again. It wasn't something that completely blew me away. It was just okay. My favorite part was the story about the husband getting a pedicure and the wife having maternal instincts about a Tamagotchi. That was the only one that really made me laugh out loud.

Oh, Dave!

You are such a unique and interesting person.

Every time I see you, there's always something new and exciting to discover.

Your energy is contagious, and it always makes me feel more alive.

Whether it's your crazy ideas or your wild sense of humor, you never fail to make me laugh.

I remember that one time when we were out together, and you did that hilarious impersonation.

It had everyone in stitches.

And another time, you came up with this amazing plan for a weekend getaway.

It was so much fun.

Dave, you truly are one of a kind, and I'm so glad to have you in my life.
