Show 249; Lyonia, Manfreda virginica and Myrica

 

Listen to "Show 249; Lyonia, Manfreda virginica and Myrica" on Spreaker.

Today, we discuss the medicinal use of three interesting shrubs, Lyonia or Staggerbush, Manfreda or Rattlesnake Master, and Myrica, wax myrtle or bayberry. These plants have a fascinating history of use in everything from snake bites to fevers, colds and flus, to hallucinogenic beers and colonial candles!

Tune of the week: Carolina Breakdown
My version of Etta Baker's "Carolina Breakdown". It is a fairly simple tune in the key of E, but it has a few little tricks that show the ragtime influence on her playing.
