StoneMtn Posted January 21, 2010 Report Share Posted January 21, 2010 Ah, well then I've enjoyed him live, and have one of his books. Sad news. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr_Evil_Mouse Posted January 21, 2010 Report Share Posted January 21, 2010 No doubt. What a true gift he was. RIP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Photogeek Posted January 22, 2010 Report Share Posted January 22, 2010 Wow what a loss. I wasn't aware he even had cancer. Just re-read "Life of Hope" a month ago. One of my favourite Canadian authors. I think I have all of his books except his first one (The Service I think?) I really enjoyed the Blue Rodeo special he narrated as well.

Dr_Evil_Mouse Posted January 22, 2010 Report Share Posted January 22, 2010 Reading Whale Music got me hooked, and then I learned about all the musical connections through friends that played in those circles. Reading King Leary last year cemented him as one of my favourite writers ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel like I've been punched in the gut...this definitely knocked the wind out of me for a second. I love his work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you were watching their set with me.That's right, too - and what a set that was. So very much in the pocket. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
