## Resource

This week, we discuss what I believe to be a plant that could literally change the world for the better and save hundreds of thousands of lives annually, if it were used by medical professionals. It is Gelsemium or the Carolina Jessamine. Also, I am back on Youtube Please subscribe to my channel: @judsoncarroll5902 Judson Carroll - YouTube 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. https://youtu.be/M_GHO0ZRllw Email: judson@judsoncarroll.com Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/southern-appalachian-herbs--4697544/support Read about The Spring Foraging Cookbook: https://southernappalachianherbs.blogspot.com/2024/01/the-spring-foraging-cookbook.html Available for purchase on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CRP63R54 Medicinal Weeds and Grasses of the American Southeast, an Herbalist's Guide https://southernappalachianherbs.blogspot.com/2023/05/medicinal-weeds-and-grasses-of-american.html Available in paperback on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0C47LHTTH and Confirmation, an Autobiography of Faith https://southernappalachianherbs.blogspot.com/2023/05/confirmation-autobiography-of-faith.html Available in paperback on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0C47Q1JNK Visit my Substack and sign up for my free newsletter: https://judsoncarroll.substack.com/ Read about my new other books:…
