| Notes | Compact disc. "Johnny Burke (1851-1930) was affectionately known as the "Bard of Prescott Street". Prescott Street being where he lived and worked for most of his adult life. He was a singing poet; he recited poems of his own composition; and he wrote verse for the purpose of historical commentary. Newfoundlanders came to see Johnny Burke as the pre-eminent commentator on the fast-breaking events of the day, an editorialist, satirist, and busker all rolled into one..." |
