For more than two decades, Stuart McLean entered the hearts and homes of Canadians via The Vinyl Cafe radio show, his many tours across the country, and multiple nationally bestselling books. His charming, humane, and side-splitting stories brought the trials and triumphs of Dave, Morley, Sam, and Stephanie to life, and made their memorable circle of friends, family, and neighbours as real as our own. This collection is both timely and timeless, a rich celebration of Stuart McLean's inimitable voice, and of the importance of love, community, kindness, and the healing power of laughter.

Heart-warming, tear-jerking, laugh-out-loud funny and some that might resemble events that happened in your own lives.

I can remember listening to his stories on The Vinyl Cafe on CBC for many years, read a couple books my parents had and seeing him in concert many years ago.

He has such a "down-home folksy" voice that makes you feel as if you're sitting around the coffee table or fire-pit with him as he tell his tales of Morley and Dave. For those who need a bit of humour and in their lives toda Heart-warming, tear-jerking, laugh-out-loud funny and some that might resemble events that happened in your own lives.

If you've never heard Stuart McLean i highly recommend listening to his audio books.

He was a master at the art of telling stories I laughed until i cried at hearing him live many times. Its a shame he passed away so young and these gems were never recorded.

Miss Vinyl Cafe Sunday radio show Dec 26, Robyn rated it really liked it. So this is a posthumous Vinyl Cafe publication, with 10 never published stories mixed in with 10 classics. A couple of the "new" stories felt a little rougher around the edges but there were a couple I really loved, like the Christmas Collision. Overall it was a gentle, feel good read for Christmas break. That said I don't know how I feel about continuing to publish new Vinyl Cafe collections going forward.

I thought the Christmas collection was necessary and with this one it is nice to have the So this is a posthumous Vinyl Cafe publication, with 10 never published stories mixed in with 10 classics. I thought the Christmas collection was necessary and with this one it is nice to have the new stories, but I hope this is it.

My mom WILL keep buying me anything Stuart's estate continues to publish, and I would rather revisit the old stories in their original collections going forward other than Vinyl Cafe Christmas of course which is of course the most important story compilation of all time. If you follow my reviews, you will know that I have a soft spot for the stories of the late Stuart McLean. I will always regret that I did not attend his show when he visited our local theatre and have now lost that chance forever.

The Vinyl Cafe Celebrates is a combination of newly released stories and some wonderful, previously enjoyed tales. They are all nostalgic, heart warming and funny as Dave's antics always are. Highlights were the School Lunch, which all parents can relate to as they If you follow my reviews, you will know that I have a soft spot for the stories of the late Stuart McLean.

Highlights were the School Lunch, which all parents can relate to as they struggled to put together lunches that kids which actually eat , The Laundry Chute think a young boy trying to escape a mining disaster and one of my favourite holiday stories, Dave Cooks the Turkey. As always, I read these stories with Stuart's voice in my head and the laugh track of a studio audience echoing. View 1 comment. Dec 29, Tori rated it really liked it Shelves: canadian.

While not holiday-themed, this was the perfect book to read over the holidays. Really, it would be the perfect book to read any time of the year; the Vinyl Cafe is just like that. Steeped in emotion, it's packed with so much laughter, and is the type of book that will be read many times over. Nothing beats Stuart's Vinyl Cafe. Dec 17, Sidney BR rated it it was amazing.

Nov 23, Jeff rated it really liked it. The latest in a series of books transcribing Stuart MacLean's radio stories about Dave and Morley and the Vinyl Cafe, the world's smallest record store. Motto: We're not big, but we're small! On the page, the stories do miss something in not being able to hear MacLean's unique delivery, but they are still at times funny, at times heartwarming, and always enjoyable.
