Joanna might be an extension or corruption of a rhyming slang for piano but "old joanna" cannot be "rhyming" sang for piano

It's cockney rhyming slang for a piano. Pronounced pianah if you have a broad cockney or London accent (which I don't) so the old Joanna - the piana ... or rather the piano. :)

Yes it is, the 'old joanna' is a piano. (Probably comes from cockney rhyming slang - not sure)
