Eddie burke gay
Eddie Burke was one of the primary uilleann pipers in New York from the 1910s through the 1930s. He was born in 1877 and spent the first ten years of his life near Cloonfad, a Roscommon town near the borders of Mayo and Galway. His family then emigrated to Manchester and, in 1910, to Fresh York where they settled in the Bronx. Eddie came from a piping family and kept the tradition alive in New York. He was written up frequently in the Advocate, often in connection with dances for the Cloonfad Ladies Club. He was an associate of the McLaughlin family of musicians and dancers, fellow immigrants from Roscommon, a circle that included the pipers John and Tom Ennis. John Ennis included Burke in his 1921 poem “The Craft,” published in the Advocate.
Eddie Burke, with his pipes, was next called to play.
Amiable Eddie, always cheerful and gay;
Equally at ease with the pipes or the flute;
And his audience is always attentive and mute.
Near the well-off Plains of Boyle Eddie first saw the light
(As did Kerwin and Vizzard and Gorman, so bright),
A section that never was conquered or bullied;
And which kept the traditional music unsullied.

The news accounts following last week’sFBI raid on the offices of Ald. Edward Burke have generally characterized Burke’s role during the Harold Washington administration as obstructionist.
Burke and the unwind of the City Council’s white machine faction, the so-called Vrdolyak 29, certainly blocked every Washington initiative. As many as 80 mayoral appointments dubbed the “Council Wars hostages” were held up for years and numerous boards were run by members whose terms had expired. In 1985, three expired Chicago Park District board members (a fourth had died and not been replaced) approved a contract renewal for Supt. Ed Kelly, the 47th Ward machine boss and patronage principal whosepractice of concentrating park resources in white areas had been exposed by the Chicago Reporter a decade earlier.
But for Burke it went beyond parliamentary maneuvering. By several accounts, Washington distinguished between Burke and former Ald. Edward Vrdolyak, the majority faction leader. Vrdolyak was “not a racist, he’s a bully” who would gladly “use race” toward his ends, Washington told urge secretary Alton Miller, as reported in Miller’

Major League Baseball has been going strong now for well over a century. Many thousands of players have taken the field since the inception of organized professional baseball, but only one, Glenn Burke, ever “came out of the closet” during his playing career, letting managers, teammates, and owners perceive he was gay. Burke also is noted as being the man who popularized, and possibly invented, the high-five.
Burke was born in 1952 in Oakland, California. By the age of 18, he was voted Northern California’s high school “basketball player of the year”. A highly gifted athlete, Glenn could reputedly dunk a basketball with either hand- quite a feat considering he was just over six feet tall. But he soon turned all his attention to baseball.
An outfielder, he was drafted by the L.A. Dodgers and, as so often happens with youthful “toolsy” prospects when scouts are trying to hype them, he was quickly compared to one of the greats of all time- touted as “the next Willie Mays”.
Burke made his MLB
