Dave and Morley would no doubt tell you that life is what you
make it. Unfortunately for them, that means a compilation tape of
mistakes, miscues, misunderstandings and muddle. That's not to say
there is anything particularly unusual about the family and friends
at the Vinyl Cafe. Like the rest of us, Dave, Morley, Stephanie and
Sam are just doing their best to respond to the challenges of
modern life.
After all, who hasn't started a small home fix-it job only to
set fire to walls and destroy whole rooms? Who wouldn't try to
toilet-train a cat? Who hasn't created mass hysteria and utter
pandemonium at a school concert? Who hasn't lost an aging relative
while visiting our nation's capital?
With Vinyl Cafe Unplugged, fans of Stuart McLean's
previous story collections will be delighted to meet again with the
folks from the Vinyl Cafe neighbourhood in fourteen hilarious hymns
to common foibles and everyday absurdities.
