Today, we discuss the medicinal use of three interesting shrubs, Lyonia or Staggerbush, Manfreda or Rattlesnake Master, and Myrica, wax myrtle or bayberry.

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.
