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 🍀

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 🎸before you can say "St. Patty's Day."

Jam soon, 
JB

"Close your eyes and forget about the notes," I whispered.
have you ever had that thing happen where your head gets in the way? you're trying so hard to get it just right, just perfect that you end up stressed and with an anything-but-perfect outcome?  this happens all the time in music.  i remember recording my first full-length album years ago. it cost me all my savings at the time, but i had a dream to be a real songwriter and get my songs out into ...
My first snapped string (+ other reasons to play live)
I remember playing a show in Iowa. I had never heard of Ragbrai before, but you never forget performing for tens of thousands of bicyclists on a multi-day ride.  My friend was the star. I was there as second guitar and backup vocals. A local band was providing bass, drums and keys and I was supposed to keep them up to speed with the keys and the transitions so during the first song when one of ...
