"Who Can Impress Ed Asner?"

Before Jay Leno went off the NBC "Tonight Show", CanJoe*John had sent this video as an audition attempt for the program segment called "Who can impress Ed Asner". This impromptu, unrehearsed and candid "one take" video opportunity was videotaped by Jack Bradshaw while attending the Kingsport, TN event "Farm Expo 2009". Some Shriner clowns also attending this event volunteered to be in the video to help CanJoe*John try to get on the show. Since Jay is no longer on the "Tonight Show", CanJoe*John has decided to make this video public just for the fun of it.

Can-John, the world is a brighter place with you playing that thang, from blountville to cyber city. Impressive rendition, considering the single string and that little soda can. (Do you avoid coffee cans for anyu paerticular reason... too fragile?

I build canjo instruments from any kind of can requested but I've found that soda cans have the best sound. Thanks, so much, for your cansiderate canments...lol...CJ*J
