Show 242: Holly

In this episode I tell you about the medicinal uses of Holly.  This beautiful shrub or tree is widespread and has tons of lore and legends surrounding it, and is also one of my favorite woods to carve.  The medicinal uses will surprise you!

Tune of the week: Sittin' On Top of the World
This is my version of the Mississippi Sheiks' "Sittin' On Top of the World". It is a classic blues tune, recorded many times by Bob Wills, Bill Monroe, Doc Watson and countless others. I play it as a country blues in the key of D. My version is a little advanced, but I also show you how you can play it more simply. I also talk some music history and reminisce about the best concert I ever attended and what a great guy Eddie Stubbs was.
