“…a wildly gifted musician, Bill Burke plays the Warr Guitar, an eight stringed instrument which allows him to play multiple parts at the same time. That requires discipline not to mention dexterity, but he pulls it off gracefully on “Where’d Our Ball Go?” now in it’s second printing.” - Dave Richards, Erie Times News.
“Bill Burke plays the guitar like most people play the piano…the notes ripple from his instrument in a harp-like manner, yet the unmistakable guitar sound is still present.” - Karen Gardner, Frederick News-Post
