Today, I tell you about the medicinal properties of Snowberry/Wolfberry/Coralberry and Taxus, or Yew. We discuss the poisonous properties of certain medicinal herbs, and why you must do your own research - in some cases the toxicity is overstated, but in others guru type fraudsters encourage the use of plants that are so dangerous they can kill you!

Tune of the week:
Let the Mermaids Flirt With Me on guitar
I show you how to play John Hurt's "Let the Mermaids Flirt With Me". This is a fairly complex tune compared to most of his music. It is in the key of C and show both a big Jimmie Rodgers influence and ragtime guitar.
