Born Justin Strunk, Jr. in Jamestown, New York, he
was raised in Farmington, Maine where as a small
boy his showmanship became evident. After he
learned to play the banjo, Strunk began
entertaining locals and went on to wide
recognition after appearances on national
television network shows such as Rowan < Martin's
Laugh-In and The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson.
In 1973, he wrote and recorded the song "Daisy A
Day" that made it into Billboard
magazine|Billboards Top Twenty on both the country
music|country and pop music charts. He had three
more humorous songs that made it into the country
music charts and toured with the Andy
Williams|Andy Williams Road Show.

Jud Strunk became a folk hero of sorts in Maine
and in 1970, he narrowly lost the election for a
Senate seat in the State legislature. After
leaving show business, Strunk operated a small
aviation business that restored antique aircraft.
He died in a plane crash at the age of forty-five
while testing one of the planes he had been
working on.
