What's the history behind the Four-Leafed Clover anyways?

Anyone who knows me knows I love history. All types, but especially ancient history... or what I consider ancient which is pretty much anything before the TV existed. 

But a fascinating world is the intersection between history and legend because of the ways stories became legends which impacted whole generations of people like a ripple through time. 

SO - what's the deal with four-leafed clovers? 

Apparently ancient Celtic Druids (priests) in Ireland believed the rare clover to bring luck by warding off evil spirits.

After the introduction of Christianity (thanks St. Patty) the legend morphed into a story about Eve taking a clover for herself from the garden of Eden to remember better times. 

I don't know about that, but if you've ever seen four-leafed clover in nature before you know the feeling of excitement - like something good is about to happen. 

And in the case of playing the guitar... something good IS about to happen šŸ€

This Sunday at our Live Event I'll be opening up an opportunity to get you finally playing the songs you know and love - Beatles, Dylan, Cash, Queen, Springsteen, Mayor, and more. 

This opportunity WILL NOT be available except for those who attend the Live Event and it's my strongest offer to date to get you playing the guitar fast and easy. 

So Go Sign Up For Sunday's Live Event now, mark your calendars, set your reminders, dial in your diaries and let's get you slammin' on a six string šŸŽøbefore you can say "St. Patty's Day."

Jam soon, 
JB

McCartney said, "We used to travel miles for a new chord-literally-in Liverpool. We used t...
