I'm Tommy Johnson. I was born out Terry, Mississippi way. If you haven't heard the name I'll tell you one thing: I love to play the guitar. I can play real good too. I can play the guitar between my legs and I can play it just as good behind my head. I didn't master these strings by myself though, no sir. A while back I went out to a lonely crossroads and asked for a little help. The only answer I got was from Ol' Scratch himself. I made the request of him, not too great and not too small, that he grant me be a master of music. The old man thought for a bit and nodded. We shook hands on my soul.
Here's a video that was captured of me offering my bottleneck slide interpretation of an old blues song, Goin' T' Brownsville, on open mic night at Old Strokers in Everett, WA. It starts out with me briefly introducing my homemade "Nobro" resophonic guitar and explaining some of the various recycled garage sale junk that I used in it's construction. Enjoy!
