All Genres > Folk > Traditional Folk > ORMLY GUMFUDGIN: World's Only Living Bazooka Player!

Ormly Gumfudgin writes a column for the International Chili Society's official "NewsPepper". The column's title is "Chili con Carnival". Because of this, he's known around the world -- not by many, but a few. Like, he has three fans in France, two in England, four in Guam, etc. He spent 23 years employed by NASA/Caltech's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in La Canada, CA.
Some fifteen years ago he resurrected the Bazooka in fond memory of its inventor Bob Burns who passed on in the mid 1950's. His efforts have been blessed by the Burns family of today.
As a result the contents of his performances on this CD are unique.
Some young filmmakers are currently doing a documentary on his life. He has titled it "ORMLY GUMFUDGIN - A LIVING OBITUARY" He has something in common with Willie Nelson, Leonardo di Caprio, Ernie Borgnine, and the list goes on.
He has written his newspaper column "Warmly, Ormly" for the past forty years. He just celebrated his 60th wedding anniversary with a ride for he and his wife Edi in the Goodyear Blimp! (courtesy of Carroll Shelby, longtime family friend)
