Dulcimers to can joes.

UNC-TV ONLINE: Our State: Episode 301:


The late Herschel Brown, known far and wide as The Can Joe Man, believed music should be a part of everyone’s life so he created a simple instrument to help that happen. From his love of mountain music, Brown learned to craft dulcimers, eventually giving way to the creation of the one-stringed ‘can joe.’
Learning about my new home state a little a time. The can joe (or canjo, there seems to be some disagreement on the spelling) doesn't sound too bad. I mean, for a can nailed to a board.
