Episode 6 - Banjo Junkie (The Fingerpicking Finale)

For Bling And Country - The Dusty Sweeney Show

Episode six showcases Dusty’s love of all things banjo.

He illustrates the plight of the much-maligned banjo picking salty dogs, who single-handedly invented social distancing before it became covid-cool.
Dusty opens up his heart about his struggles as a banjoholic and his 5-string fingerpicking hillbilly addiction with his plucking anthem ‘Banjo Junkie’ and takes his relationship with his banjo–detox therapist to new heights.

We also hear about the plight of forgotten ‘banjo widows’ as their husbands lock themselves away in their man caves seduced by the plunky mountain music of the banjo. In one case leading to their eventual demise - in the haunting murder ballad ‘Death By Banjo’

In this final episode we also uncover a uniquely mountain-folk musical genre called ‘Mumble Country’. Dusty is joined by jabbering country crooner Hardy Makeout and his truly baffled beloved Anita Clue, on their truly confused country duet ‘As Clear As Mountain Mud.
