Author Event: Jon van Arsdell, “No Longhairs: The Odyssey of a Vietnam Draft Dodger”

Local author Jon van Arsdell reads from his humourous new memoir, “No Longhairs,” recalling his half century on the Sunshine Coast. Arriving in the late ‘60s as a draft dodger, the local pub’s sign greeted him with “No Longhairs Allowed.” Jon is a now certified Coastal “old timer” and well-known musician since the legendary “Pender Harbour Fats and the Mother Furriers.” Jon’s latest band “The Road Apples” (Michael Maser, Graham Walker, Stu Young & Mary White) will accompany Jon on a few tunes as well.
“Spirited romp of a book.” – Howard White, author of “Here on the Coast.”
