Description: In Vinyl Cafe Diaries, master storyteller and humorist Stuart McLean takes us into the deepest recesses of the Vinyl Cafe. Learn all about the secret lives and hidden passions of the seemingly ordinary folk from the radio show. What is Dave doing by himself in a Halifax hotel room with a duck? -- What purloined item has Sam surreptitiously stuffed under his mattress and why? -- What is it about the book club that Mary Turlington doesn't dare tell Morley? --- Why is Morley skulking around with a man named Frank on the eve of her fortieth birthday? -- What grisly secret is Stephanie hiding in her father's picnic cooler? -- Why in the name of decency is Morley parading around in Stephanie's clothes? -- What are in the mysterious brown-paper packages that Sam is receiving in the mail? -- And why is Dave wearing the awful Grateful Dead T-shirt?. Vinyl Cafe Diaries exposes the answers to these urgent questions in twenty never-before-told (well, okay, told on the radio) stories of strange secrets, odd dreams, high hopes and, of course, hilarious adventures.
