David Bell, arranged a number of parties in Bunk’s honor at his house. 

Silent movie
One of them he was filmed mugging around and joking with Marilyn Bell, Catherine Antrobus and Marilyn McGuire and the Bell’s dog "Binnie". 
In another scene Bunk is shown playing trumpet along with Bill Loughborough on trumpet and the photographer Bud Weil on clarinet. When David Bell tries to join the group with his cornet, he is jokingly sent away!

                               is added.
















Recording sound
Bill Loughborough also recorded Bunk on his home recorder. About a dozen sides were made of Bunk talking and playing rags from the Red Back Book and other numbers like Gal in Calico and a Happy Birthday to you for someone. Sadly, only the Happy Birthday disc survives today.
