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 Taylor Roberts
