Southern Appalachian Herbs

I discuss the medicinal use of pumpkin, and an herb with a very interesting history.  Squill was once considered an essential herb, but has fallen out of use.

Tune of the week: Piccolo Rag
I show you how to play Blind Boy Fuller's "Piccolo Rag". This is a fast paced buck dance that has a lot of ornamentation. This is the kind of tune that made him a successful street performer. It is challenging, but it is a lot of fun!

Lovesick Blues and how to change keys to suit your voice (transposition)
While playing through Emmett Miller's version of "Lovesick Blues", I found that it was very different than Hank Williams' classic version recorded about 20 years after Miller's. Most resources state that both played it in the key of F Major, but that Hank played it in D, using a capo to raise the chords to F. I don't like using capos because you loose a lot of the guitar's range and it limits your breaks/solos. So, I play it in open D, which you can capo up if you like, and in open F. Changing keys is called transposing, and it is a very useful skill to match songs to the singer's voice or just to play more in your own style. I then show you how to improvise a solo in whatever key you choose, using moveable chord shapes, aka the CAGED System.

How to Buy a Cheap Instrument - Saint James Infirmary Blues
Sometimes we need a cheap instrument, whether we are broke or traveling. I picked up this baritone ukulele for $20. After playing around with the tunings a bit, I settled on "plectrum tuning", which is C,G,B,D. That tuning brought out a rich tone from the instrument. I play "Saint James Infirmary Blues", the classic New Orleans funeral march, so you can hear what an awesome rhythm and melody instrument the uke became just by tuning down two strings... even with a broken finger! Playing music does not have to be expensive. For centuries, people just made do with what they had and made music better than most today!

This will be among my most controversial podcasts.  I reflect on America's 250th anniversary and how our founding principles contrast with how we responded to COVID.  I don't pull any punches.  The COVID panic was the reason I started this podcast, and to quote the Who, I get on my knees and pray, "We don't get fooled again"!

Casey Jones or Ben Dewberry..... etc.
I show you how to play Mississippi John Hurt's version of "Casey Jones" on guitar. This is my favorite version of this folk song that has been played countless folk, blues, country, bluegrass and rock musicians, spanning the 1800s through the Grateful Dead and beyond. I also do Jimmie Rodger's "Ben Dewberry", which is another version of the same song, and I get a chance to play my 100 year old long scale Hohner Marine Band. So, by the end of it, I've done the song in two keys, in probably 10 different styles and even reharmonize the chords into a jazz version!
