About the Artist

In February 2011, BEST BESTiE, a founding member of the BANJO BESTiES bought a BANJO with money he got back from a corrupt governmental system and never looked back. Upon meeting up with his cohort, BOSS BESTiE, for a camping trip, he TOO became stricken with the ailment of the need to play his fingertips against the only true American instrument. Also on hand that weekend was BRET BESTiE, who would give them emotional support to combat their total lack of knowledge of any musical theory. The group would meet up on Thursdays from time to time and learn BRET's "Miyagi Style" of BANJO instruction. He occasionally joins them to help them out in their endeavors in which he plays undoubtedly better than the other two, but BEST BESTiE tends to shake his head and berate him in public. (BRET is the DEAN MARTIN of the group.) BEST continues to pick up his banjo, which he calls "DELIVERANCE," daily and make songs as he waits for BOSS to surpass him with his mathematical and practical genius understanding of the instrument, which is often put to the test in his neighborhood as the LOUD foreign voices of local children, tumbling beer bottles, and domestic disputes threaten to drown out his concentration and attempts to practice. But some, like BEST's Old Lady, think BEST's borderline Autistic personality which keeps him buried deep inside his bedroom in his Mom's trailer will just lead to nothing. . . . . .
