You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 44.201.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪ST47‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a web host's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and they should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 23:54, 31 July 2024.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

'''Justin Roderick Strunk Jr.''' (June 11, 1936 – October 5, 1981)<ref name="AMG">((Cite web|url=https://www.allmusic.com/artist/jud-strunk-mn0000296786|title=Jud Strunk &#124; Biography & History|website=[[AllMusic]]|access-date=August 10, 2021))</ref> was an American singer-songwriter and comedian.

==Biography==
===Early years===
Born in [[Jamestown, New York|Jamestown]], New York, United States,<ref name="AMG"/> he was raised in [[Buffalo, New York|Buffalo]], New York, 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 Starring Johnny Carson]].''

===Academic===
He graduated from the [[Virginia Military Institute]] in 1959 with a B.A in History.<ref>[http://www.vmialumni.org/page.aspx?pid=206&reid=g%2fazM8Xz2z4%3d&bbsys=0&bbrt=0] ((Dead link|date=February 2020 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes ))</ref>

==="Daisy A Day"===
((main|Daisy a Day))
Although much of Strunk's material was humorous, his most popular song was not. "[[Daisy a Day]]", which Strunk wrote and recorded in 1973, is a gentle, sentimental ballad in 3/4 time, describing the relationship between a boy and girl who ultimately grow old together. For every day of their lives, he gives her a daisy as a sign of their love. In the last verse, she has died, but her widower husband continues to make daily visits to her grave. The song made the ''[[Billboard magazine|Billboard]]'' Top 20 on both the [[country music|country]] and pop music charts.<ref name="AMG"/> A cover version, ''Een Roosje, M'n Roosje'' (A Rose, My Rose) by [[Conny Vandenbos]], reached No. 7 on the Dutch Top 40 hit list in 1974.

===''Laugh-In''===
Strunk was a regular member of the ''Laugh-In'' cast during its last season in 1972 and 1973.<ref name="AMG"/>— During the ''Laugh-In Looks at the News'' segment, he often reported fictitious sporting events "directly from [[Farmington, Maine]], spahts capitol of the wahld".

===Other material===
Strunk also wrote three humorous songs that made it into the country music charts, and he toured with the [[Andy Williams|Andy Williams Road Show]]. One of these songs, "The Biggest Parakeets in Town," was a tongue-in-cheek story of a woman who is a bird fancier. Its central joke is the unspoken pun of "parakeets/pair o'[[breasts|tits]]" used in the title. Other singles, such as "Next Door Neighbor's Kid" and the patriotic "My Country," appeared on various Billboard surveys.<ref name="AMG"/> Strunk also scored a songwriting hit with "Bill Jones' General Store", the title track of his 1971 album of a similar name;<ref name="AMG"/> Canadian musician [[Tommy Hunter]] charted in the top 20 on the country and adult contemporary charts in Canada with the song.

===Last years and death===
Strunk became a folk hero in [[Maine]] and in 1970 narrowly lost the election for Senate seat in the [[State legislature (United States)|state legislature]]. He was also a private pilot and purchased a 1941 [[Fairchild PT-19|Fairchild M62-A]]. On October 5, 1981,<ref>((cite web |url=http://planecrashinfo.com/famous1980s.htm |title=Famous People Who Died in Aviation Accidents 1980s |author=|website=Planecrashinfo.com |access-date=July 25, 2013))</ref> he suffered a heart attack just after take-off in the aircraft at Carrabassett Valley Airport, in Maine. The plane flipped over, falling some 300 feet, killing him instantly along with his passenger, Dick Ayotte, a long-time friend and local businessman.  Strunk was 45 years old.
