Episode Details

This week, we discuss what I believe to be a plant that could literally change the world for the better and save hundreds of thousands of lives annually, if it were used by medical professionals.  It is Gelsemium or the Carolina Jessamine.

Tune of the week:

Frankie and Johnny
I show you how to play my version of "Frankie and Johnny". This is one of the first 12 bar blues songs that has been documented. In various versions, it dates back to the mid 1800s, with lyrics changing to fit various murders throughout the decades. It was recorded by everyone from Jimmie Rodgers and Mississippi John Hurt to Louis Armstrong, Elvis, Doc Watson to Jerry Garcia! I play it as a Piedmont blues. It is a great tune to make your own and play in your style.
