Introduction "One String, One Can, One Man"...CanJoe*John, is billed as the "world's most unique musician, who plays the world's most unique musical instrument, the canjoe." Awarded the adult 2007 "Bluegrass Instrumentalist of the Year" by the North American Country Music Association International (NACMAI),and having the distinction of being the first and ONLY canjoe picker to ever perform on the Grand Ole Opry, he's also the sole-proprietor of the CanJoe Company of Blountville, TN. Besides introducing these cool instruments to the world market and producing them as beautiful, functional works of musical art, he has literally taken his one-stringed thing, his canjoe musical instrument, to the outer limits! Now he is making his cool, unique, hand made signature instruments to be used at their highest and most valuable use...he gives them to kids who are under the care of specialty children’s hospitals on his "Tour of Smiles" for use as fun and very effective music therapy.
