Whatever anyone's opinion is of Johno's singing voice, he is first and foremost a showman and entertainer. When he is on stage, there is lots of fun and humour for the audience.<br />Good on you, Johno, and good on the guy who loaned you his flatbed truck for keeping the Johno's dream alive.<br />I would just like to point out two of Johno's support artists during the parade. Kid Ryo and the Reverend Benson are well known to connoisseurs of fine music in Cairns. These talented young teens are well known for supporting Los Pistoleros at the Cape York Hotel on most Friday nights. They play terrific guitar instrumentals along the lines of the Shadows and the Ventures, plus other great numbers to get your feet tapping.<br />Ryo and Benson are local talent of the future to watch out for. Keep up the fantasic work, fellahs. You are knocking us dead. I look forward to your next gig at the Cape York this Friday night.David Anthonynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7878592054777492431.post-84589049431917320862009-08-16T16:53:31.002+10:002009-08-16T16:53:31.002+10:00I second the comment above.

With all the talented buskers around town, you've got to wonder why this annoyance is being allowed on the busiest pedestrian corner in Cairns. Or living in his van, for that matter.Living in the CBDnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7878592054777492431.post-87366042597293521552009-08-16T15:27:59.765+10:002009-08-16T15:27:59.765+10:00well, he's a shocking singer, but at least he&...well, he's a shocking singer, but at least he's still out there having a go. desperate being terrible, plus terribly addled by substnce abuse.Sk8erboinoreply@blogger.com
