Backstage at the Vinyl Cafe

“The door to days gone by is a strange little door.”

Today on the podcast, two stories about jobs and some of Dave’s more unusual work experiences. In the first, in a fit of nostalgia he gets a paper route; in the second story he gets a taste of life on the road with a ‘vintage’ rock band.

“I will never forget that day.”

We have something very special for you this week. From one of the most-requested Vinyl Cafe episodes, this is Stuart’s re-telling of the life story of holocaust survivor (and my husband’s Zaidie) David Kilberg.

This episode features music by the Manitoba band Finjan, from the album “Dancing on Water”. 

“How can you deny an old man his dying wish?”

This week’s episode is all about the powerful pull of home. We start with a story about Dave’s neighbours Eugene and Maria and their longing for their hometown of Rendi. And in our second story, an event in Dave’s Big Narrows brings back a cascade of memories. 

“It was one of those moments that make you wonder if your life is cursed.”

In this week’s episode, two stories of a mystical flavour, with mysterious encounters for both Stephanie and Dave.

“How was Dave supposed to know the Madden kids were all lactose intolerant.”

Today on the pod, two stories where Dave bites off more than he can chew. In the first he babysits a cell phone that is left in the store; in the second he attempts to babysit some neighbourhood kids, with hilarious consequences.
