I'm quoting Stuart McLean with this entry and I presume it's St. Johns..

Come for the scallops and stay for the trollops

"The Jock Strap" (Yes, really...)

This is EXACTLY what #StuartMcLean (#CBC) did about 20 years ago; went to various summer fairs across Canada with a card table, two chairs, a tape recorder, video camera, and a sign: "Interviews - $5". The stories folks told him were amazing. He turned it into a summer fill-in show. Worth trying to find in the caves of CBC.

Today we’ve got the Stuart McLean-Margaret Atwood fan-fiction I mentioned last week. I’m not sure it’s what The CBC Short Story Prize was looking for but the week after a Canadian federal election shaped by annexation threats, I thought a few of you might enjoy reading it.

Does anyone else wonder what happened to Dave and Morley? Stephanie and Sam are all grown up. Arthur is long gone. Bert, Mary, Jim? THAT was a marvelous world?

I was at the Sally Anne store today, and picked up a Vinyl Cafe CD by Stuart McLean for a buck ("Odd Jobs").

It took me a while to set up my old laptop to play it (an HP EliteBook 8440p with a recent install of Debian). VLC did not work, but I discovered Clementine did.

After the effort of trying to get it to play, and given that it's kinda late now, I think I'll try to listen to it later. I was a big fan in the past.

A favourite Canadian storyteller was Stuart McLean. Stuart, with his radio show "The Vinyl Café" was a Canadian literary treasure who is sorely missed. I photographed him at one of his performances at the #RebeccaCohen auditorium in #Halifax He gave permission for me to use this great story in this photo video Ellie made of the show.
Here, Stuart relates the Dave and Morley tale "The Jock Strap".

Christmas is on like Donkey Kong.

( #StuartMcLean pairs perfectly with making 7 quarts of seafood chowder.)
