Author Event: Jon van Arsdell, No Longhairs

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” (with Michael Maser, Graham Walker, Mary White & Stu Young) will accompany him on a few folk tunes as well.

“Spirited romp of a book.” – Howard White, author of Here on the Coast.
