The death of Stuart McLean
Tom and I are so sad that Stuart McLean has died. We have spent some of our best times listening to the Vinyl Cafe, entering into the lives of Dave and Morley and the kids. His voice was so perfect. He told stories that seemed as real as could be. He seemed like a friend who just happened to be on the radio. "Come and get me, copper" is a phrase that sets us laughing every time someone in the family says it.

I am sorry to hear this.
ReplyDeleteHe was just such a good man.
DeleteI know, Canada is so sad today.
ReplyDeleteDo you have a favourite Vinyl Cafe story?
They are all of a piece to me - like a family photo album. I'm fond of the aunt Dorothy- the first episode when we meet her. I love women like that. I would like to buy CDs of every single story, though as Tom says, there would be a sadness now. Thanks for coming by. I'd hoped you would.
DeleteOh, no! I love listening to his Christmas stories every year. This is so sad! :(
ReplyDeleteThank you, Nan, for introducing me to this wonderful storyteller. I think I'll listen to the cd this weekend, even though I listened 2 months ago.
ReplyDeleteHe was so perfect. He brought listeners right into his stories. The characters are like real people to me.
DeleteI heard he had cancer and had stopped doing the show. I was introduced to him by friends that discovered him when on vacation in Newfoundland. Very sad.
ReplyDeleteHe was so beloved by so many people.
DeleteI listened to some in the last few days. I never heard of Stuart McLean before reading about him on your blog. What a treat!!! Thanks Nan and may he rest in peace.Laura.
ReplyDeleteThank you for taking the time to listen to his gentle work.
