But after a brief probationary period of having some of the least-rewarding jobs on the family farm - like cleaning manure and maintaining the "butt" (large water barrel) that substitutes for a bathroom, Bunky has recovered nicely.
On the family farm, Bunky has two current job duties. The first is to provide transportation by horse- and mule-drawn vehicles when family members need it. He also is Harvey's "office assistant" in his workshop, helping to obtain and organize his supplies for the items Harvey makes.
In addition, Bunky has pursued two of his long-time passions. First, he traveled to various cities around the world last fall for a new TV series, Bunky's Whole Wide World, which premiered on Barefoot Media Networks TV on April 1. By the end of season one, he'll visit New York City, Paris, Los Angeles, and Jerusalem among other places. The idea is to find out what those cities will look like once Jesus Christ returns to Earth to start the new era prophesied in the Book of Revelation.
But what he considers his "dream job" first played out on the final episode of Goin' Barefoot (formerly Buddy Wayne Coming Home) for the second season, which aired on March 31, Easter Sunday. That was the performance debut of B.O.M.B., which is the acronym for Bunky the One-Man Band. He combined the drum set he got for Christmas which other musical instruments he found around the house, as shown here, to create the band. Always known only as a novelty concept, Bunky's goal is to find a place for it in the popular musical scene. On the show, he performed an original song called "Good Rockin' Baby." In addition to the drums, he played keyboard, harmonica, and bass guitar. And he did all of that without use of a synthesizer or related electronic items.
He plans to record more songs and put out a full album this coming fall.
