About the author
Joe Mackintosh is a writer and musician. He strives for a cadence and a voice in his writing that mirrors the rhythm of his music. His first biography, Andy De Jarlis The Life and Music of an Old-Time Fiddler was short-listed for the Alexander Kennedy Isbister Non-Fiction Award. He met Chris McCubbins on a July 1967 evening after Chris had won the Pan Am gold medal in the 3000-metre steeplechase. Joe was ever after impressed by Chris’ athletic talents and by his honest, humorous, and humble approach to life. Joe and his wife Carole live in Gimli, Manitoba, next to the sights and sounds of Lake Winnipeg.
