Two fingered Johnny

About Me

These two songs are just improvisation the first one (two weeks on the slide) was recorded two weeks after I started playing with a slide,the second is just 12 bar blues in e with some words I threw in just so there would be some music on here. all I used was a web cam mic. with three parakeets singing backup and timing it in between kids coming in and out. in the pines was more slide expirimentation. I will do more & better recording later. The band is just me John Eric Dodge. I'am guitar-harmonica player/ singer/songwriter. Of what caliber depends on who you ask. I would give a low opinion of myself, but we are all our own worst critics.(I carry a roll of toilet paper with my equipment so if I sound like crap people can wipe thier ears.) I like all kinds of music but I don't actively listen to some genre's I was raised christian but am tolerant of all religions. I'am somewhat ecology minded but am not a fanatic. I love the outdoors, camping, mountains, lakes,rivers ect. but don't get to go as often as I'd like.My wife and I spent a little time on the Hippie Highway and loved most of it. there were a few hassles but what in life don't. I make my living as a machinist. The name TWO FINGERED JOHNNY comes from an industrial accident that crushed my left hand. The joints in my pinky and ring finger fused and I only have partial movment in my middle finger. I still play the guitar right handed. I love when people listening to me say that they tried to play the guitar but didn't have the fingers for it. I ask them how many fingers do they have and show them my hand. It's not in the fingers it's in the will. I had a four piece band (Hector Demon, in Limestone New York) when the accident happened. We were one week from our first paid public apearance, was a real bummer. They all went to other bands. it was two years before i could play again. I am new to this mass sharing of my music and will post my songs as soon as they are copyrighted in the process now just need the money to do it
