De-Bunking Johnny Burke, and Excluded Canadian Troubadour (1430 words) |
 | Johnny Burke was a person of substance in the literature of colonial Newfoundland, but he has become a shadowy figure in contemporary Canadian literature. |
| Burke earned his living at a variety of service jobs (grocer, salesman) and amateur theatrical positions (talent show producer, opera producer); he was also the proprietor of a cinema, and on two occasions a theatre manager. |
| Johnny Burke's papers are located in the Provincial Archives of Newfoundland and Labrador (St. John's), in the Memorial University Folklore and Language Archive (St. John's), and in St. John's public libraries. |
