Whiskey Jack supports the national boycott of all things American and since Bezo's company Amazon is selling pirated, unauthorized copies of Duncan's first book, this new book will only be available in hard copy in Canada.    To learn more about the Amazon theft, click on this link.   

"STORIES NOT FIT FOR THE STAGE - An Anthology" 

56 stories by 37 authors

by Duncan Fremlin & Guests  

Available at www.helloOutThere.ca or...email me at info@hellooutthere.ca

It is a collection of tall tales, confrontations, anecdotes and encounters—some accidental, some not—with music and entertainment figures - familiar names contributed by the Canadians who were in the room.   

The book might have been called "Name Dropping 101" since the stories are about or written by.... Johnny Cash, Donald Sutherland, Eddie Shack, Mr. Dressup, Paul McCartney, Bob Hope, Farley Mowat, Prince, Ani DiFranco, the Hells Angels,  Steve Martin, Gordon Lightfoot, Mr. Tease, Mac Wiseman, Milton Berle and many more.
