Bunny Blom

The official story was that Benjamin "Bunny" Blom was a candy manufacturer from Skåne in southern Sweden, who reluctantly became a recording artist in order to record a number of medleys of popular songs from 1915-1930. He never performed in public, due to his shyness, his care for his mother, and his work making cinnamon cylinders for AB Bröstmeiers Kanelcylinderfabrik. In 1962 he left his musical career behind, allegedly because Povel Ramel had offended him greatly by imitating him at a party. (In actual fact, Bunny Blom was a pseudonym of Povel Ramel singing in a mock Scanian dialect. For photo sessions, he was played by Harry Asklund, who in his daily life had nothing to do with music but worked at a tool depot for the Stockholm railway.)
