Photos and Story of an ORIGINAL Herschel Brown canjoe

The first major artist to receive an authentic CanJoe Company one-stringed canjo instrument was personally requested. Bill Monroe, the “father of bluegrass” music was the headliner performing on September 7, 1995 at the Paramount Theater, Bristol, TN, along with several other major bluegrass artists in that night’s line up and I met and introduced myself to him that evening back stage. Immediately upon his introduction to my own original Herschel Brown canjoe instrument, he requested one for himself. I had made and brought several of my hand made canjoe instruments with me to that event and being near his birthday, I gave a ‘Mountain Dew’ canjoe instrument to Mr. Monroe that night. He LOVED it!!!!!
