Tune of the week:

Any Old Time on guitar
I show you how to play my version of the Jimmie Rodgers classic "Any Old Time". This is a very unique song in his repertoire, because it was recorded with Louis Armstrong in more of a Dixieland style. I do it as an easy swinging country blues. It is a very fun song to play, with a laid back rhythm that lets you experience a little of the joy these legends shared in the studio when music was less confined to strict genres and bootleg liquor fueled many a great recording.

This week, we discuss the medicinal uses of two interesting plants.  This first is Canada Moonseed, which is toxic plant that may be mistaken for wild grape, but does have some medicinal use.  The second is Partridgeberry, often called Squaw vine, which is extremely useful medicinally and a good edible.

Tune of the week:

Joe Turner Blues
I show you how to play my version of "Joe Turner Blues", that is mostly based on Mississippi John Hurt's performances. It is a very old song, with many versions and origin stories. Joe Turner may have been a regulator, deputy sheriff, philanthropist, government agent, railroad man or just a guy trying steal another man's wife.... who knows? There were likely as many Joe Turners as there are versions of the song. But this one has a great rhythm and is a 3 chord song in G. that gives plenty of room to improvise.

Tune of the week:

Salty Dog Blues on guitar
I show you how to play Salty Dog Blues. My version is based on several of the older blues and hokum versions of the song from the 1920s, but I like the Flatt and Scruggs version too, so I blended in several influences. I play it in the key of C, which is standard for the early blues versions. It follows the cycle of 5ths, but with a eat little twist that keeps it moving at a fun pace. Most of this is improvised on the spot, so it should give you some useful ideas.

Big Boss Man and remembering Bob Weir

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.

Tune of the week:

Peach Pickin' Time in Georgia
I show you how to play my version of Jimmie Rodgers' "Peach Pickin' Time in Georgia". This is a great old tune, and a perfect vehicle for a bluesy/jazzy, fingerstyle break or solo. Rodgers often worked with Dixieland bands and even the great, Louis Armstrong. So, even though he is known as "The Father of Country Music", his songs are equally influential across the genres of traditional American music - blues, country, jazz and rock all owe a huge debt to Jimmie Rodgers and Emmett Miller.

Tune of the week:

Richland Woman Blues on guitar
I show you how to play Mississippi John Hurt's "Richland Woman Blues". This song was somewhat unique to his repertoire a was an adaptation of the older folk/blues, "Midnight Special". He combined dissonate bluesy slides with a more old-time country style bass pattern.

Tune of the week:

You've Got the Pocketbook, I've Got the Key
I show you how to play couple of versions of Rev. Gary Davis' "You've Got the Pocketbook, I've Got the Key". This song was preserved and passed down by his students and fans but was never recorded by him. I start with a two finger picking arrangement similar to the one Stefan Grossman plays. But when I learned the song as a kid, probably from Roy Bookbinder, it was played faster and had lyrics..... Like all old blues, there is no one right way, so take this and make it your own!

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.
