The first card reads “La Giaconda”, and implies a legitimate musical act. The second card reads “Unnecessary piano solo”, followed by “Terrible imitations”, “Uncalled for encore”, “Horrible singing”, and “Bunk speech”.
Morrissay performs a number of comedic songs, and an imitation of Ernest Truax, Al Johnson, Same Bernard, and George M. Cohan.
Billed as "Will Morrissay, America's Greatest Violinist, annoyed at the Piano my Freddie Clinton".
It's a very novel, and funny act that still requires attention in places.
