[quote]Stuart McLean, the host of CBC Radio's The Vinyl Café and an award-winning humorist, has died at age 68 after a battle with melanoma.
McLean's trademark blend of storytelling — part nostalgia, part pithy observations about everyday life — and folksy, familiar delivery made him a hit with audiences for more than 20 years. But he always maintained that success came as a surprise to him.[/quote]
The Vinyl Cafe was a staple of CBC radio.

Dave said goodbye, one last time.
Sundays won't be the same.
I don't usually get upset about celebrity deaths, but this one really hit me. I grew up on McLean's stories, listening to him with my parents was a huge part of my childhood. This feels like loosing a part of my childhood
