Stuart McLean, a Canadian writer and broadcaster best known for his "Vinyl
Cafe" live theatre broadcasts on CBC Radio, died yesterday. His
'meandering' story-telling style was probably similar to that of Garrison
Keillor in the US and, of course, Mark Twain.

McLean was a three-time winner of the Stephen Leacock Memorial Medal for
Humour.

With the radio in the background on Saturday mornings, I frequently found
myself drawn into McLean's humorous stories, in medias res, that I had not
heard begin!

RIP
