Sad day as Stuart McLean is gone

[mustardman]

Canada's story teller died yesterday at 68 years old.

No one could get you laughing like Stuart as he unfolded a story like no one else.
Had the chance to see him live in Swift and Saskatoon when he was on tour.

Great listening to him at seeding time, or a road trip to shorten the travel time.

You can get him on CBC podcasts

He was a true Canadian gem. No more to say except sadness.

A true story teller, a true gentleman and a warm heart, although he had his struggles.
Rest in Peace.

Huge loss to Canadians and I am sure lots of family and friends. When Peter Zozki died, It shook me and I think of him, now another. Its amazing how special peopl e find their way into our world. RIP Stuart

one of a kind ! I always was going to see him live , never did. had a chance when I was in Moncton a few years back , sure wished I would of . he was also a very good canadian talent scout and a very astute listener .

my wife got me tickets, to see him for the first time in saskatoon,
then the announcement that the tour was cancelled.
so sad for the nation.
if there ever was a guy that expressed the cdn mentality it was him.
he could make you laugh or make you cry in a good way.
gonna miss him

Stuart mcLean was one of the great ones. Got to hear him when he did a show in Kitchener a few years ago.

Two of my favorites were the story of Dave making the Christmas cake and Dave dogsitting the neighborhood dogs. Oh my goodness - laughed til my sides ached! He could just build the tension or drama like no other, to build the craziest situations...

I liked the story where Dave and Morley mixed up the adult punch with kids punch at one of their parties.
