Today, I tell you about the medicinal use of Yellow root, or Xanthorhiza, and the medicinal, culinary and fiber properties of Yucca. These are both very useful plants!

Tune of the week:

Miss The Mississippi And You on guitar
I show you how to play my version of Jimmie Rodgers' "Miss the Mississippi and You" with a fingerstyle break. This is a challenging country blues that likely originated in vaudeville tune and has some unique chord changes. It is a particularly beautiful song and was unique in his repertoire.
