Source: "During his 42-year association with the Packers, Burke built the Lumberjack Band into a unit which not only became synonymous with the team, but gained its own fame and following through its lively performances at both games and special events. Vince Lombardi once called it "the best playing band in the National Football League." Along with directing the band, Burke also could pitch in and play the saxophone."
