THE JAMES BURKE MUSIC COLLECTION
(music found in Mr. Burke's television programs)

page 1 - page 2 - page 3 - page 4

This is a beginning attempt, by JB fan Darcy Weber to catalog all of the music found in Mr. Burke's various television programs. He and I and Mr. Burke invite you to add to this list if you recognize any of the tunes from the shows. We'll also give you credit for sending in the name of the piece (plus the visual segment it lines up with).
