RUTH BONNEVILLE / WINNIPEG FREE PRESS Intersection Piece: Portraits of Chris Burke-Gaffney at his home in his basement studio, upstairs at his piano and outside in his yard by the river. Also photos of his grand achievements in music. Intersection piece on the 40th anniversary of Burke-Gaffney's professional music career - he started with new wave outfit the Pumps in 1978, sold a bazillion records as the leader of Orphan in the '80s and in the '90s transitioned into music management, kickstarting the career of Chantal Kreviazuk, among others. These days, he spends a month or two every year traveling to Nashville, where he works as a songwriter. Dave Sanderson story July 19, 2018
