Let's start here. Cody Canada—our latest guest on The Load Out Music Podcast—is many things but he is most certainly not some radio DJ in Canada, in the event you were curious.  No, he's a pioneering figure in red dirt music and one of the more respected musicians in songwriting circles today. But many casual music fans might be unfamiliar with his name, instead knowing his work from the legendary band that he founded and led from 1994 – 2010: Cross Canadian Ragweed.  For those unfamiliar with red dirt music, it's a genre stuck between country and rock-and-roll named for the color of the Oklahoma soil. It has featured acts such as Jason Boland & the Stragglers, Stoney Larue, Charlie Robison, the Turnpike Troubadours, and the Randy Rogers Band—but has also extended to the likes of Waylon Jennings, Willie Nelson, Steve Earle, Ray Wylie Hubbard and those who have built the Texas country-rock scene.  Canada got hooked on music when he attended a George Strait show while living in Texas as a kid. The next day he asked his parents for a guitar and it was on. In his teen years, Canada was insulated, a loner, he freely admits he didn't have many friends. His family then relocated to Yukon, Oklahoma, and his obsession with the regional outlaw country music and the Seattle sounds of Nirvana and Pearl Jam only deepened.  Music became his thing—his only thing—and in 1994, Canada put together a band with Matt Weidemann (bass), Grady Cross (guitar), and Randy Ragsdale (percussion). Cross Canadian Ragweed was born and one of their first gigs was playing a on a glorious trailer on “Czech Day” in Yukon—where they played for six hours. The band would move to Stillwater, Oklahoma, and in 1998 put out its first album, Carney. But it wasn't until Ragweed's 2002 self-titled album featuring Canada's song “17” that the band broke through. Then things really went next level in 2004 with the album Soul Gravy. It debuted at number five on Billboard's country charts—despite Canada wanting to be as far from Nashville country as he possibly can to this day—and featured the hit songs “Sick and Tired” with Lee Ann Womack and “Alabama.”  But like happens in most bands, tensions rose in Ragweed—a topic Canada does not shy away from—and the band dissolved in 2010.  In 2011, Canada and bassist Jeremy Plato formed Cody Canada & the Departed, releasing the album This Is Indian Land, a collection of covers written by Oklahoma songwriters. The band ultimately minimized to simply, The Departed, and over the past decade, Canada has moved forward with the band as well as on solo projects, writing music and reaping the rewards of a legacy he's built over 30 years. In 2020, MusicFest, the esteemed festival in Steamboat Springs, Colorado, paid tribute to Canada with live recorded performances from his songwriting peers, releasing the album The Years: A MusicFest Tribute to Cody Canada. Ragweed also released the reboot of “Soul Gravy” in 2022. Womack returned to sing on the new version along with performances from some key musicians who helped shape the original album including Randy Rogers and Ray Wiley Hubbard. And just recently, Canada joined longtime friends Micky and Gary Braun (of Micky and the Motorcars) on the “Acoustic Healing Tour.”  All along, in spite of being a pioneer in red dirt music, family remains the bedrock of Canada's life. He and his wife Shannon lead a School of Rock in their hometown of New Braunfels, Texas, where they are raising their children Dierks Cobain Canada (named for friend Kierks Bentley and Nirvana's Kurt Cobain) and Willy Vedder Canada (named for Willy Braun of the band Reckless Kelly and Pearl Jam's Eddie Vedder).   So, sit back for a great conversation on The Load Out Music Podcast with an incredibly accomplished musician and fascinating character in Cody Canada.

The Friday Newsletter |  Daily Gardener Community   Historical Events 1801 William Henry Seward "Sue-erd", an American politician who served as United States Secretary of State from 1861 to 1869, is born. He was also featured in the book by Doris Kearns Goodwin called Team of Rivals: The Political Genius of Abraham Lincoln, in which she wrote about William as a naturalist. He loved his garden. This little passage offers so many insights into William as a nature lover. As a gardener and just to set this up, this is taking place during the civil war when there's a little break in the action for Seward, and he accompanies his wife Frances and their daughter, back to Auburn, New York, where they were planning to spend the summer.  Seward accompanied Frances and Fanny back to Auburn, where they planned to spend the summer. For a few precious days, he entertained old friends, caught up on his reading, and tended his garden. The sole trying event was the decision to fell a favorite old poplar tree that had grown unsound. Frances could not bear to be present as it was cut, certain that she "should feel every stroke of the axe." Once it was over, however, she could relax in the beautiful garden she had sorely missed during her prolonged stay in Washington. Nearly sixty years old, with the vitality and appearance of a man half his age, Seward typically rose at 6 a.m. when first light slanted into the bedroom window of his twenty-room country home. Rising early allowed him time to complete his morning constitutional through his beloved garden before the breakfast bell was rung. Situated on better than five acres of land, the Seward mansion was surrounded by manicured lawns, elaborate gardens, and walking paths that wound beneath elms, mountain ash, evergreens, and fruit trees.  Decades earlier, Seward had supervised the planting of every one of these trees, which now numbered in the hundreds. He had spent thousands of hours fertilizing and cultivating his flowering shrubs. With what he called 'a lover's interest," he inspected them daily.    Then I love what Doris writes next because she's contrasting Seward with Abraham Lincoln in terms of their love of working outside. [Seward's] horticultural passion was in sharp contrast to Lincoln's lack of interest in planting trees or growing flowers at his Springfield home. Having spent his childhood laboring long hours on his father's struggling farm, Lincoln found little that was romantic or recreational about tilling the soil. When Seward "came into the table," his son Frederick recalled, "he would announce that the hyacinths were in bloom, or that the bluebirds had come, or whatever other change the morning had brought."   1809 Martha Ballard recorded her work as an herbalist and midwife. For 27 years, Martha kept a journal of her work as the town healer and midwife for Hallowell, Maine. Today Martha's marvelous journal gives us a glimpse into the plants that she regularly used and how she applied them medicinally. And as for how Martha sourced her plants, she raised them in her garden or foraged for them in the wild. As the village apothecary, Martha found her own ingredients and personally made all of her herbal remedies. Here's what the writer, Laurel Thatcher Ulrich, Wrote about Martha's work back in May of 1809.  Martha's far more expansive record focused on the mundane work of gardening, the daily, incremental tasks that each season exacted.  In May of 1809, she "sowed," "sett," "planted,' and "transplanted" in at least half dozen places, digging ground "west of the hous" on May 15 and starting squash, cucumbers, muskmelons and watermelons on "East side house" the same day.  She planted "by the hogg pen" on May 16 and 18 on May 23 sowed string peas "in the end of my gardin," and on May 26, planted "south of the hous." The plots she defined by the three points of the compass were no doubt raised beds, rich with manure, used for starting seeds in cool weather. The garden proper had a fence, which Ephraim mended on May 12. Whether it included the plot near the "hogg pen," we do not know.  All of these spots, managed by Martha, were distinct from the "field." which Jonathan plowed on May 15, and DeLafayette and Mr. Smith on May 27 and May 31.  Martha's was an ordinary garden, a factory for food and medicine that incidentally provided nourishment to the soul. "I have workt in my gardin, she wrote on May 17, the possessive pronoun the only hint of the sense of ownership she felt in her work.  The garden was hers, though her husband or son or the Hallowell and Augusta Bank owned the land.  "I have squash & Cucumbers come up in the bed East side the house," she wrote on May 22.  The garden was hers because she turned the soil, dropped the seeds, and each year recorded in her diary, as though it had never happened before, the recurring miracle of spring.     1899 Luigi Fenaroli, the great Italian agronomist and botanist, is born. Luigi wrote a flora of the Alps, and he was an expert in forestry, but today we remember him for his work with chestnuts. Luigi wrote two books on chestnuts, and he was passionate about chestnuts as a good source of nutrition - especially for people who've lived in the mountains. Although today, of course, chestnuts are beloved in Italy, as well as other parts of the world. Chestnuts are unique in that they contain very little fat and protein compared to other types of nuts, but they are an excellent source of both carbohydrates and water. There is about a 50-50 ratio there. And so it's not surprising to learn that Roman soldiers were given porridge made of chestnuts before they went into battle. It gave them sustenance, that simple Chestnut porridge. Today chestnuts are known as a superfood. They are healthy and irresistibly tasty. And so they rank near the top of the list for most nutritious snacks.   1905 Herbert Ernest Bates (pen name H. E. Bates), English author, is born. He is remembered for his books Love for Lydia (1952), The Darling Buds of May (1958), and My Uncle Silas (1939). In his book, A Love of Flowers (1971), Herbert wrote, It is wonderful to think that one of the few unbroken links between the civilization of ancient Egypt and the civilization of today is the garden.   Herbert also wrote,  I shut my eyes it returns: the evocation of a whole wood, a whole world of darkness and flowers and birds and late summer silence... more than the mere memory of a wood, the first and the best wood.   Herbert wrote about gardeners. He said, The true gardener, like an artist, is never satisfied.   And he also once wrote this about gardens. Gardens... should be like lovely, well-shaped girls: all curves, secret corners, unexpected deviations, seductive surprises, and then still more curves.   1926 On this day, the state of Kentucky selected the Goldenrod for its Floral Emblem. Prior to 1926, Kentucky's floral emblem had been the Bluegrass (which seems more fitting still today), but Kentucky gardening clubs felt Bluegrass wasn't representative of the whole state.   And here's a fun fact: Alabama and Nebraska also picked the native goldenrod to be the State Flower.   Goldenrod has a lot of haters because many people confuse it for ragweed. I hate to even write that - because it makes people think they must look similar. But that's just not true. Once you see Goldenrod and Ragweed individually - you could never confuse them. Ragweed flowers are green and not eye-catching, while goldenrods are golden and very pretty.   I saw an infographic a few years ago that said,   Goldenrod Warning: if I'm here, so is ragweed. Stay indoors! Achoo!   This is clearly maligning Goldenrod. It might as well say the black-eyed Susans are blooming, so is ragweed. Or the Joe Pye Weed is blooming - and so is ragweed - and so, by the way, are all the late summer bloomers - echinacea, helenium, oriental lily, asters, balloon flowers, sedums, tickseed, autumn crocus, Japanese anemones, blue mist shrub, hydrangeas, the list goes on and on. It's just an issue of timing. The genus name Solidago is taken from the Latin "in solidum ago vulnera" and it means "I make wounds whole." And so it's not surprising to learn that Native Americans and herbalists have long recognized the curative power of goldenrod when it comes to wound care.   Now, If you want to plant some Goldenrod, keep in mind that it is an early autumn bloomer. It's also an important food source for honey bees and makes for a fantastic cut flower.   Finally, the botanical painter Anne Ophelia Todd Dowden once painted the goldenrod and observed, Abundant it may be, but repugnant it is not.    Grow That Garden Library™ Book Recommendation Of Rhubarb and Roses by Tim Richardson This book came out in 2013, and the subtitle is The Telegraph Book of the Garden. Well, this is such a happy and fun book for gardeners in the summertime. I love the cover, which shows a gentleman sleeping on a garden bench with a little golden Tabby cat beneath him. There's also a lawnmower and a wheelbarrow full of produce. There are beautiful garden beds. There's a beautiful garden arbor. And then, of course, there's a newspaper of the daily Telegraph That's laid out on the wheelbarrow, right by the tomatoes and the carrots and the cabbage and so forth. But this is a book that the Telegraph put together, and it is a compilation book - an anthology of garden essays by garden writers And so in this book, you will find fantastic garden essays from the likes of Stephen Lacey, Mary Keen, Helen Yemm, Bunny Guinness, Monty Don,  Rosemary Verey, and the like. Now here's what Tim wrote in the introduction to this book. I'm not sure quite what I was anticipating, but I know it was not diatribes against melon frappé or the best places to find wild chives on the Lizard peninsula. I'm not sure, either, that I was quite ready for the fact that a garden column appeared in the newspaper every single day from the late 1950s on. The result was bulging file after file brought up from the Telegraph's distant archive, each filled to bursting with carefully snipped clippings. Snow, drought, storm, new plants launched, old plants rediscovered, the latest furor at the Chelsea Show - the garden columnist falls upon everything that makes one year different from the last, for with a cyclical subject such as horticulture there is the ever-present danger of repeating oneself. The Telegraph's writers have avoided this for the most part, though I was amused to come across at least four versions of a 'May I introduce you to euphorbias?" piece by the same author. One of the fascinations of gardening is the way the same issues arise year after year while always seeming different, somehow - perhaps because of the vagaries of the seasons.   Thomas walks us through some of the history of garden writing over at the Telegraph. And he concludes with these words. The best writers can achieve this balance between practical advice and lyrical appreciation - in the case of newspapers, all to a strict deadline.  I suppose this theme of writing to order looms large for me today since the deadline for this introduction is suddenly upon me, and I find myself writing during a weekend away. As it happens, the place is Sissinghurst, and the borrowed desk I am sitting at was Vita's, my view through casement windows that of burnished orange echinacea, crimson salvias, clipped yew, and the beatific, wondering smiles of the visitors gliding by. Their expressions make me think,  Does anything in life give as much pleasure as a beautiful garden?' Last night, the white garden at midnight was a revelation. But that is not a subject to be enlarged upon now; I am going to write it up in the next day or two. It will, I hope, become another garden article fit for publication in the pages of the Daily Telegraph. If you like garden writing and you love anthologies, this is the perfect book for you. Personally, I think this is a great summer gift for gardeners because this book has already been out for a decade already -it came out in 2013, and so used copies are readily available on Amazon for a song. But again, this is a beautiful and fun book. One reviewer wrote, [It's] an assorted box of chocolates. I happily skipped between essays by the likes of Vita Sackville-West, Germaine Greer, and Sir Roy Strong, greedily consuming one after the other in quick succession. For those with more restraint, this is a book that promises many hours of savoured delights.   This book is 464 pages of funny and well-informed garden writing dating back to the 1950s. You can get a copy of Of Rhubarb and Roses by Tim Richardson and support the show using the Amazon link in today's show notes for around $2.   Botanic Spark 1861 Jacob Ritner, a Union captain in the civil war, wrote to his wife Emeline. In fact, there's a great book that features all of the letters that he wrote to his wife Emeline during the Civil War, and it's called  Love and Valor: Intimate Civil War Letters Between Captain Jacob and Emeline Ritner by Charles Larimer.   Anyway, I stumbled on this letter that Jacob wrote on this day during the civil war when I was reading an excerpt from a book by DC Gill called How We Are Changed by War. In this excerpt, Gill reveals how soldiers survived the war, not only physically but also mentally, and quotes Kirby Farrell: "To preserve their sanity," writes Kirby Farrell, "soldiers [often] concentrated on a prosthetic "reality" by which to ground themselves" (Farrell 1998, 179).   We already know that the garden is grounding. DC writes that mental images of happy places, like gardens, can mitigate bad environments, such as a war zone. An artificial image of home can substitute for the deficiencies of a present-day environment in a war zone. It allows soldiers to mentally project themselves into a more comforting geography. Soldiers' letters repeatedly ask for details to furnish these environments of the mind. "Now Emeline dear," writes Union Captain Jacob Ritner on May 16, 1861, "you must write me a great long letter next Sunday.. .. Tell me all the news, how the trees grow, the garden and grass, what everybody says"   The power of the garden to anchor us extends past space and time, and even merely thinking of our gardens can lift our spirits and calm our worries.   Thanks for listening to The Daily Gardener And remember: For a happy, healthy life, garden every day.

Welcome back to the Oh My Allergies! Podcast. Have you ever experienced pollen allergy symptoms during the summer even when it's not the “typical prime” pollen season? Although allergy season is lasting longer due to warmer temperatures shifting the growing season earlier and extending it longer as well as the heat helping plants produce more pollen, there is a plant that matures and produces flowers that generate pollen in the middle of summer. It's called ragweed and that's what we are discussing today. We discuss what is ragweed, what is a ragweed allergy, common symptoms of a ragweed allergy, who tends to develop a ragweed allergy, and so much more!

Entre el 5 y el 10 de enero de este extraño 2020, se celebró en Steamboat Springs, una ciudad arropada por las majestuosas montañas del Oeste del estado de Colorado, el trigésimo quinto aniversario de su festival anual, convertido en uno de los más antiguos de Estados Unidos. En aquella ocasión, un buen número de músicos, fundamentalmente tejanos, rindieron homenaje a Cody Canada y a la música de Cross Canadian Ragweed tal y como se resume en el álbum que se pondrá a la venta el próximo 22 de enero, The Years: A Musicfest Tribute to Cody Canada and the Music of Cross Canadian Ragweed. Entre una enorme lista de participantes estaban Reckless Kelly, la banda de los hermanos Willy y Cody Braun, nativos de Ohio pero residentes en Texas desde finales de los 90, que recuperaron para la ocasión "Fightin' For", la canción que abrió Garage, el tercer álbum de Cross Canadian Rageweed hace 15 años. Este homenaje ha sido una de las mejores formas de expresar cómo la música de Cody Canada en sus distintos proyectos sonoros ha influido personal y profesionalmente. Y otro de los ejemplos es el de la Randy Rogers Band, que en 2004, producidos por Radney Foster, grabaron “This Time Around” que Cody Canada y Randy Rogers compusieron juntos y que un año después formó parte de Garage, el tercer álbum de los Ragweed. Estamos ante uno de los más brillantes músicos, siempre relacionado con la Red Dirt Music. Desde 1994 fue el líder de Cross Canadian Ragweed, formados en Yukom y una de las bandas emblemáticas de la Red Dirt Music, cuya inspiración vino siempre de las tierras rojas de su entorno natural. Dejaron la carretera tras 15 años de carrera. Radney Foster también fue el mentor del cuarteto ante Tim DuBois para que los incluyera en aquel proyecto discográfico llamado Universal South. Él y Tony Brown les dieron libertad para realizar su trabajo y sin perder la frescura de sus primeros registros fueron edificando edificios sonoros mucho más armados y consistentes. En 2007 Cross Canadian Ragweed publicaban Mission California, su cuarto álbum, que fue grabado en San Diego, aunque las esencias se mantenían con canciones como “In Oklahoma”, compuesta por Cody Canada junto a Stoney LaRue y que pasó a ser la más popular de la banda. A comienzos de 2016, Cody Canada and The Departed, la siguiente banda formada por Cody nos sorprendieron con la edición de "All Nighter" junto a miembros de Reckless Kelly y Micky and the Motorcars. Compuesta por Cody Canada, se filmó un video del tema en uno de los honky-tonk más legendarios de Texas, el Floore's Country Store de Helotes. Para ello contó con los Brauns, Willy y Cody de Reckless Kelly, y Micky y Gary de Micky And The Motorcars. Pero a ellos se añadió el gran patriarca, Muzzie Braun, y sus respectivas familias. “All Nighter” estaba dedicada a Mark "Gus" McCoy, bajista de los Motorcars que murió de manera trágica en 2012. Lo último que hemos sabido de Cody Canada es su participación en el tercer volumen de The Next Waltz, el proyecto de Bruce Robison. En esta nueva publicación que ya anticipamos hace meses en el programa no hay solo canciones clásicas. También hay temas nuevos, como el que ha elegido el tejano de Pampa, fijándose en Adam Wright, un compositor de Nashville que ha firmado canciones para nombres tan relevantes como los de Garth Brooks, Lee Ann Womack o Alan Jackson (que, por cierto, es su tío), además de Randy Rogers que ha grabado "I'll Never Get Over You" en su último disco. El ha dado una tonalidad especial a "Wonder If The World Can Wait That Long", un tema de los que ya parecen no componerse de manera habitual y que, seguramente, en tiempos pasados, se hubiera convertido en un clásico. Por suerte, nos encontramos con canciones e incluso con discos completos que pueden convertirse en clásicos. Uno de los mejores ejemplos es Startin’ Over de Chris Stapleton. Con evidentes tonalidades sonoras que traen viejos recuerdos de The Band, y especialmente de su inolvidable “The Weight”, “Maggie’s Song” es un tema dedicado a su perra, una mezcla entre labrador y terrier, que murió el pasado 2019 con 14 años. Cuenta cómo la encontraron en un carro de la compra abandonado en el parking de un supermercado, su vida y sus últimas horas, con una emoción muy fácil de entender por quienes alguna vez hemos tenido cerca a esos maravillosos seres y hemos sufrido su marcha. En los últimos años estamos asistiendo a como un buen número de compositores de grandes canciones popularizadas por artistas de cierto renombre han salido del anonimato para ponerse ante un micrófono e interpretan sin intermediarios sus propias canciones. Chris Stapleton es uno de los casos más evidentes, pero no el único. Ahí entra en escena Ward Davis, por ejemplo, que acaba de publicar su Lp Black Cats And Crows. Nacido en Monticello, del estado de Arkansas, se trasladó a Nashville hace 20 años para convertirse en un profesional de la composición, además de trabajar como teclista de algunos músicos de Music City y formar su propia banda, The Beagles, con quienes llegó a publicar un EP. Debutó en solitario hace cinco años y también comprobó que sus canciones tenían interés para Willie Nelson y Merle Haggard, y sobre todo para Cody Jinks, que eligió hasta tres temas para su álbum Lifers. A partir de ahí todo fue más fácil y en este nuevo registro deja piezas mucho más que notables, como “Nobody”. Su voz sigue manteniendo ecos familiares de Neil Young, aquellos con los que se presentó en escenarios españoles en 2011. El poderío de sus comienzos no lo ha perdido este músico de Missouri con una enorme carga emocional capaz de evocar algunos de los mejores momentos del folk-rock de los 70. Sin embargo, con el paso del tiempo, Israel Nash ha ido caminando hacia una cierta reinvención desde que dejó de lado su apellido Gripka. De hecho, Lifted, editado en 2018, hizo honor a su título con una continua mirada hacia arriba. A finales del invierno, en marzo de 2021, regresará con Topaz, su primer álbum desde entonces, lleno de sentimientos tan comunes en estos días como son el dolor y la esperanza. Lo ha grabado en su estudio casero en el corazón del Texas Hill Country y la primera muestra sonora es “Canyonheart”, que forma parte de un EP de cinco canciones de adelanto.  El próximo 2021 al que nos agarramos casi con desesperación nos va a dejar, al menos, regalos tan deliciosos como las últimas grabaciones en solitario de Neal Casal, que decidió abandonarnos en el verano de 2019. A finales del próximo mes de febrero se editarán en un single de 7” pulgadas dos nuevas canciones para recaudar fondos para la Neal Casal Music Foundation, cuyo objetivo es el de proporcionar instrumentos musicales a niños y brindar apoyo de salud mental a los artistas. "Everything Is Moving" es una canción que el músico de Denville, en Nueva Jersey, empezó a componer en 2013 pero que ha sido terminada por sus amigos en este año, como ocurre con “Green Moon”, la cara B de ese vinilo por publicarse y que ahora podemos anticipar.  2020 ha sido un año en el que el aislamiento ha propiciado el recurrir a los recuerdos. Seguro que muchos de nosotros hemos recuperado fotos, libros, discos y muchas más cosas que casi creíamos perdidas. En el caso de la música, para muchos de nuestros artistas más cercanos también ha sido el momento de validar el pasado y el caso de Tom Petty es fundamental con la publicación de su ya mítico Wildflowers & All The Rest, un disco al que tendremos que regresar muy pronto. El pasado miércoles tuvo lugar un encuentro en streaming en el que el periodista David Fricke, editor de la revista Rolling Stone, reunió a artistas y directores que trabajaron en los vídeos de Tom Petty a lo largo de su carrera. Tras una hora de charla se estrenó el nuevo video de "Something Could Happen", que ha protagonizado la actriz Lauren Cohan, bien conocida por la serie The Walking Dead. Esa canción fue una de las diez que quedaron fuera de la primitiva edición de Wildflowers. Han pasado 45 años desde que Rick Danko cantara “It Makes No Difference” por vez primera en 1975 dentro del álbum Northern Lights Southern Cross del quinteto canadiense. Una impecable balada de country-soul donde se expresa la incapacidad por superar una relación fallida a través de metáforas que tienen que ver con las nubes bajas, la lluvia constante y la falta del sol. Ahora, toda esa melancolía está impresa en esta monumental versión que The Band Of Heathens han realizado en la edición número 28 de su Remote Transmission con una invitada tan especial como Allison Moorer, que realiza una interpretación perfecta.

Cheryl Gross says a common misconception is “beautiful yellow goldenrod flowers” are the cause seasonal allergies. “They’re not,” says the president of Plant it Wild. Gross says the real culprit is ragweed. It blooms at the same time as goldenrod, but isn’t very noticeable. It’s dull green with tiny dull green flowers. Ragweed doesn’t need to be flashy because it doesn’t need to attract insects. “It’s wind pollinated,” Gross explains. ”So when it ripens and lets its pollen out, the pollen floats through the air and gets into our eyes and our noses and our mouths.” Goldenrod, on the other hand, is bright yellow because it needs insects for pollination. Its pollen is heavy and sticky and generally stays in the flower. Bees, butterflies and beetles have to visit the plant to get pollen and nectar. Goldenrod is important because it’s one of the few flowers blooming right now. It provides food for monarch butterflies and other insects getting ready for winter. “We desperately need goldenrod

THE TROUBADOUR PODCAST - The Premier Red Dirt, Texas Country and Independent Music Podcast

In the late 90’s and early 2000’s as Red Dirt and Texas Country Music was making it’s way north into my home state of Kansas some of the first bands I saw live were those like The Great Divide, Jason Boland & The Stragglers and Cross Canadian Ragweed.  Through those 3 bands, me and my cohorts were gradually introduced to many of the other great acts coming out of that scene as the movement was really starting to gain some steam. Therefore, I assume that my first experience with becoming familiar with the Austin band, Reckless Kelly was much like many of you.  Ragweed’s live show at that time almost always included the Reckless Kelly tune, “Crazy Eddie’s Last Hurrah”, which became known as a song that would bring the house down during Ragweed’s shows. As I started digging in to Reckless Kelly I found several other of their songs were also simply gems.  A couple of my own other personal favorites from the early Reckless days were “Hey Say May” and “Wild Western Windblown Band”. As Reckless Kelly’s career progressed, they solidified themselves as one of the most respected bands in the scene.  Their prowess as a group was recognized with Grammy nominations and later a Grammy win for their 2013 album “Long Night Moon.” Reckless Kelly is still releasing great stuff and in May, they will be releasing another 2- album project that, as you’ll hear in this interview with Willy Braun, he feels it’s their best yet. This episode with Willy is great and here’s a YouTube LINK to the humorous story we visit with Willy about including a streaker across the stage during a Robert Earl Keen show.  If you haven’t already seen this, it’s simply MUST WATCH content.

Making It Grow Minutes

Hello Gardeners, I'm Amanda McNulty with Clemson Extension and Making It Grow. Feel free to bring flowering stems of goldenrod indoors – with insect-disseminated pollen it doesn't cause allergies. It's ragweed that makes copious amounts of nose-tickling pollen so light weight that winds blow it far and wide. Our most common ragweed is Ambrosia artesimifolia (no one seems to know why it's called Ambrosia – the food of the Gods), and usually it tops out at a couple of feet. But in the upper half of the state, on heavier soils, giant ragweed thrives as a major pest. It easily gets over ten feet tall and makes pollen and seeds in even more massive quantities than its shorter relative. Ragweed seeds are tiny, with a beak that helps them stick to other surfaces, and now these native ragweeds are noxious weeds worldwide as they've been uninvited hitchhikers in grain shipments delivered to other countries.

Mike McClure and I met for the first time in the Fall of 1999 while I was still in college in Manhattan, KS and he was still fronting The Great Divide (the first time).  Along with working towards my degree, I was trying to figure out how to become a songwriter and musician, and he was a guy doing just that.  He graciously took time to visit with me and let me pick his brain every time they came through town as I slowly built my own little career in music.  He was also gracious enough to make a cameo appearance on my first record on a song I’d written called “Til I Find Myself”.  In the years to follow, I meandered my way through 15 years of gigs, mostly as a solo artist, and Mike’s career evolved into parting ways with The Great Divide, touring with his own band, becoming a producer/engineer and eventually starting his own recording studio. After having not spoken to Mike in over ten years, it was really great to get to catch up with him through the podcast and bring the listeners the whole conversation.  In this episode we touch on Mike’s impact on the scene, not only as an artist and songwriter, but also as a producer. He recounts many good stories from his career in this episode including getting songwriting advice from Guy Clark, having a song cut by Garth Brooks, producing records from Red Dirt and Texas Country staple acts like Cross Canadian Ragweed, Turnpike Troubadours and more.

Do you know what to look for on a plant tag?   The first major thing I look at is growing zone.  Often the plant tag will give a range for the growing zone like 5-9 or 3-7.  This is why knowing your growing zone is key.  If you don't know, you just need to ask someone at the garden center -they should know what growing zone you are in.   Now, as an experienced gardener, let me tell you what happens to me a few times every summer.     I see a plant at my garden center. I fall in love with it.  I look at the tag and whaddya know - it's not for my zone.   So, I put it back.  If it's not for my zone, it will not be able to handle the winter temperatures here.   I really don't like it when garden centers pass these plants off to unsuspecting gardeners.    We've all done this - bought a plant that won't survive over winter because we forgot to check the tag.   Sometimes, when I do catch a plant that is being sold that is not for my zone, I channel my inner gingerbread man - "ha ha ha- you can't catch me!"   So know your zone... and check those plant tags for growing zones.           Brevities   #OTD It's the birthday of Luigi Fenaroli born today in 1899.   Fenaroli Is known for his book Flora of the Alps and Other Mountains, as well as his work on chestnut varieties.       #OTD On this day in 1901 The botanist Charles Theodore Mohr wrote a letter expressing his relief at completing his major work – a book called Plant Life of Alabama.   "With the completion of this life work, a  big weight has been lifted off my shoulders and I feel free to take on other tasks. As long as there is work, I will go to Tuscaloosa to the Herbarium which I helped start 20 years ago.  Completing my work on the herbarium is my botanical goal for the remainder of my life." Mohr wrote those words two months before his death.   At the time his book was published he was seventy seven years old.   Mohr spent decades gathering the information and plant specimens for his work. He was a trained pharmacist and one of Alabama's first botanists.   Born in Germany and educated in Stuttgart, Mohr traveled the world before settling in Alabama.  He collected in Surinam, emigrated to the United States in 1848, took part in the California gold rush, lived briefly Mexico, Indiana, and Kentucky.   In 1857 he started Chas. Mohr & Son Pharmacists and Chemists in Mobile, Alabama. His personal herbarium specimens were donated to the University of Alabama Herbarium (15,000 specimens) and the United States National Herbarium (18,000 specimens). The following plants are named for Charles Theodore Mohr: Andropogon mohrii (Hack.) Hack ex Vasey Mohr's bluestem Grass family Aristida mohrii Nash Mohr's threeawn Grass family Eupatorium mohrii Greene Mohr's thoroughwort Aster family Marshallia mohrii Beadle & F.E. Boynt.

Beneath the apple blossoms I go a wintry way, For love that smiled in April Is false to me in May."       Today's book recommendation: Wild at Home: How to style and care for beautiful plants by Hilton Carter  Make your home a healthier and more beautiful place to be with Hilton Carter’s inspirational ideas. "Hilton Carter's love for plants is infectious... His lush and exuberant displays are inspiring reminders that plants can be so much more than neat little containers on a window sill."    Carter is a plant stylist. Take a tour through Hilton’s own apartment and other lush spaces, filled with a huge array of thriving plants, and learn all you need to know to create your own urban jungle. As the owner of over 200 plants, Hilton feels strongly about the role of plants in one’s home—not just for the beauty they add, but for health benefits as well: ‘having plants in your home not only adds life, but changes the airflow throughout. It’s also a key design element when styling your place. "For me, it wasn’t about just having greenery, but having the right variety of greenery. I like to see the different textures of foliage all grouped together. You take a fiddle leaf fig and sandwich it between a birds of paradise and a monstera and…. yes!’ You will be armed with the know-how you need to care for your plants, where to place them, how to propagate, how to find the right pot, and much more, and most importantly, how to arrange them so that they look their best. Combine sizes and leaf shapes to stunning effect, grow your own succulents from leaf cuttings, create your own air plant display, and more. Currently Hilton has over 300 plants in his home and studio, creating what many would call an urban jungle.      Today's Garden Chore: Plant some fall bloomers in the back of your border. Think Asters, sedums, sunflowers, zinnias and so forth. Fall bloomers can be tall and leggy. They often benefit from growing up through a cage or being staked. If you place them at the back of the garden, the shorter plants in the front can help support it and hide the late-bloomer and it's supports until it is ready to shine.         Something Sweet  Reviving the little botanic spark in your heart   #OTD It's the anniversary of The Floral Emblem selection for the state of Kentucky; they selected the Goldenrod in 1926.     It had been the Bluegrass but Kentucky gardening clubs felt it wasn't representative of the whole state.    Alabama and Nebraska also picked the native goldenrod to be the State Flower.   Goldenrod has a lot of haters; many people confuse it for ragweed.  I hate to even say that - because I think that makes people think they must look similar.  That's just not true.  Yet, once you see them individually - you could never confuse them. Ragweed’s flowers are green and not eye-catching while  goldenrod's are golden and very pretty.     I saw an infographic a few years ago that said, "Goldenrod Warning: if I'm here, so is ragweed. Stay indoors! Achoo!"  This would be the same as saying, The black eyed-susans are blooming. So is ragweed. The Joe Pye Weed is blooming. So is ragweed.  So are all the late summer bloomers - echinacea, Helenium, oriental lily, asters, balloon flowers, sedums, tickseed, autumn crocus, japanese anemones, blue mist shrub, hydrangeas, the list goes on and on.   The genus name Solidago is taken from the Latin "in solidum ago vulnera" and meaning to "I make wounds whole." Native Americans and Herbalists recognize the curative power of goldenrod.   It's an early autumn bloomer goldenrod is an important food source for honey bees and it is a fantastic cut flower.   Botanical painter Anne Ophelia Todd Dowden who painted the goldenrod with minute detail said, "Abundant it may be, but repugnant it is not."         Thanks for listening to the daily gardener, and remember: "For a happy, healthy life, garden every day."

Can you produce ketone bodies and store boy fat simultaneously? Hi Jimmy and Doc Nally! I love your podcast and have read your books! I've been keto since January 2016 and IF regularly with some longer fasts, so I'm definitely fat adapted. I eat PLENTY of fat and I love it! I have a question today about glycogen stores and corresponding ketone readings. From what I understand, if I overdo it and eat too many carbs or too much protein or both, my glycogen stores will eventually fill up and then the leftover glucose from the meal will be converted to fat for storage. I'm wondering if filling my glycogen stores to the point of fat storage will knock me out of ketosis? In other words, as long as I'm registering a reading within the nutritional ketosis range of 0.5-3.0 mmol on my blood ketone meter, is it safe to assume that I didn't load up my glycogen stores to the point of fat storage? Is it even physiologically possible to both burn fat for fuel and producing ketones while also storing fat at the same time? Thanks so much for all that you do, and thank you for taking the time to answer my questions. Rachel JIMMY AND DR. ADAM NALLY’S KETO LIVING SUPPLEMENTS   – STUDY: The cholesterol and calorie hypotheses are both dead — it is time to focus on the real culprit: insulin resistance 1. Is there something about the ketogenic diet that causes vivid dreams that lead to nightmares? Dear Jimmy and The Doc, Reading Keto Clarity last year made me realize that the keto life is the key to life, so thank you! I have question I’d love your help with that I haven’t seen a good answer to anywhere online. Do you experience what I’ll describe as “keto dreams?” Some people have shared that since eating a low-carb, ketogenic diet, they struggle more with nightmares. I had stress-induced insomnia for 10 years prior to going keto, but now that I’m sleeping better my sleep is plagued by extremely vivid dreams that oftentimes lead to nightmares. Am I suffering from some sort of deficiency in my diet for this to be happening now? Or is my body just working through the stress of bad sleep for more than a decade? Thank you very much for your help, Jezabel 2. Is chicken fat and bacon a worse meat option while eating keto because of their polyunsaturated fat content? Or does it even matter? Hi Jimmy and the Doc, I've been eating low-carb, ketogenic since December 2014. I check my blood glucose and blood ketones daily. One of the pleasures of eating keto is I get to enjoy cooking and eating real foods like pasture raised chicken and making bone broth. However, I do have a concern about the chicken fat containing linoleic acid, an omega-6 polyunsaturated fat (PUFA). I learned more about these reading The Big Fat Surprise by Nina Teicholz where she describes PUFAs as obesegenic because they store more fat in a low insulin environment while increasing insulin resistance outside the fat cells. Even Dr. Nally’s beloved bacon contains large amounts of these PUFAs as well. Did that wake you up Doc? Beef fat, lamb fat, and butter are all low in PUFAs. So my question for you guys is this: Does the choice of meat type with better fat profiles when you are eating low-carb, moderate protein, high-fat matter in terms of dealing with body fat loss goals? I’ll be listening for your reply on the show, Frank in Brisbane, Australia HIGH-FAT LOW-CARB, PERFECT MACROS NOTICE OF DISCLOSURE: Paid sponsorship KEY QUOTE: “It always comes back to fact that it's the insulin resistance, stupid. It's not the calories, it's the hormones.”  – Jimmy Moore 3. Is there a keto-friendly allergy medication or remedy that doesn’t contain unwanted sugars and other culprit ingredients? Hi Jimmy and Dr. Nally, Thanks for all you do in spreading the word about the multiple benefits of the ketogenic lifestyle through your podcast. I suffer from a lot of allergies, especially grass and ragweed pollen. Over the years I've experimented with many antihistamines and their efficacies for me. Of course, Benadryl is the best, but has the side effect of severe drowsiness. Through experimentation I've found what works best for me is the CVS brand of 12-hour allergy product where the active ingredient is Chlorpheniramine Maleate. Now that I'm keto, it seems prudent to reexamine all the medications and supplements I take in terms of their compatibility with this way of eating. In my allergy medication that I like, here's the list of inactive ingredients in this product: Calcium Sulfate, Carnauba Wax, Colloidal Silicon Dioxide, Confectioner's Sugar, D&C Yellow 10, Aluminum Lake, FD&C Blue 2/Indigo Carmine Aluminum Lake, FD&C Yellow 6, Gelatin, Hydroxypropyl Methylcellulose, Lactose Monohydrate, Magnesium Stearate, Methacrylic Acid Copolymer, Methyl Parahydroxybenzoate, Microcrystalline Cellulose, Pharmaceutical Ink, Polysorbate 80, Povidone, Propyl Parahydroxybenzoate, Propylene Glycol, Sodium Benzoate, Sodium Lauryl Sulfate, Sucrose, Talc, Titanium Dioxide, Triethyl Citrate. Ragweed season is fast approaching, and I will need an antihistamine product that will actually work—otherwise I will be absolutely miserable. I'm willing to take Benedryl every 4 hours if needed, but I was wondering if there is a long-acting antihistamine you advise your highly insulin resistant patients to take which will have minimum insulin and glucose response. I’d like to avoid the confectioner’s sugar, sucrose, and other suspect ingredients in that CVS brand if possible. This seems like an issue that might affect a lot of your listeners. Thanks for all you do in reaching and teaching so many about the ketogenic lifestyle! Leezah KETO TALK MAILBOX - What’s the best way to determine what the right level of carbs, protein, and fat are for my ketogenic diet? Hi, Jimmy and The Doc! Thank you for writing Keto Clarity and doing the Keto Talk podcast sharing your wisdom about the ketogenic lifestyle. I’ve been keto since January 2017 and have lost 15 pounds. While I eat low-carb, high-fat, I’m still struggling about how to figure out exactly how many carbohydrates, how much protein, and how much fat to eat. I follow a keto group on Facebook that gives me inspiration, but they don’t believe excess protein gets converted into glucose as I’ve learned from you guys. If you disagree with their version of keto, then they shame you for not understanding the diet. In fact, when I asked about testing my blood ketones recently, one person responded that eating 20g carbohydrates will automatically put you in to ketosis. I know this isn’t true, but it’s made me think about how I can go about discovering what the right level of carbs, protein, and fat are for me. Can you guys help? Thanks for all you do!

Sensitization to Common Ragweed in Southern Bavaria: Clinical and Geographical Risk Factors in Atopic Patients

Medizin - Open Access LMU - Teil 19/22

Background: Sensitization to common ragweed (Ambrosia artemisiifolia) is associated with a variety of risk factors, which are incompletely defined. Our aim was to evaluate the association of a variety of clinical, geographical and demographical variables with ragweed sensitization and also to determine its frequency in southern Bavaria. Methods: In this cross-sectional multicentre study, we enrolled 977 patients with a documented or suspected atopic disease or food allergy. Data were collected on aeroallergen sensitization, age, sex, type and history of allergic disease, place of residence and potential local ragweed exposure. For this last variable, county ragweed cover was taken as a surrogate variable. Relative rates were calculated with multiple additive logistic regression models. Randomly selected patients with ragweed sensitization had a conjunctival provocation test. Results: According to skin prick tests, 190 patients (19.5%) were sensitized to ragweed. The frequency of this finding increased significantly with a rising number of additional sensitizations. Other less important predictors for a ragweed sensitization were male gender, mugwort sensitization, food allergy and a maximum of complaints in September or October. County of residence, extent of local ragweed cover or type of residential area were without relevance. Of 48 sensitized patients, 26 (54.2%) had a positive conjunctival provocation test. Discussion: Patients with multiple sensitizations may be more readily sensitized to a new aeroallergen. Local geographic or environmental conditions are presumably of minor importance for becoming sensitized to ragweed. The frequency of ragweed allergy among sensitized patients might be high.
