Lake Fork Verne and his banjo. Original country and Americana songs. Songs of yesteryear, growing up during the great depression 1930's and the way things are
Just me and my banjo...writing and singing about how things used to be long ago in the 30;s and 40's and how those experiences affect today. I started out wanting to get on record these stories and songs for my grandchildren; but after doing it for a while, others have expresses interest so we are recording and putting them out there.

Lyrics
Lake Fork Land Copyright by: Verne Garrison, October 10, 2011 Valley Park, Mo Banjo tuned E, Capo 1 , Key of: A Are things still the same, at Lake Fork Land? Does the North Fork still flood in the Spring? Do the sweet williams still wave their bright blue bands? I'll be back, soon as I finish my fling Does the wild parsnip still line the long fence rows? Does Bobby Westen's donkey still kick the bucket and howl? Are the multifloral-rose thickets still growing wild? Can you still hear those country sounds, I heard as a child? Do the bridge boards still rattle When the sparse traffic goes by Does the sunset show off the cattle In the red-pink streaked western sky Oh, I miss the quiet palaver Of the old folks rocking on the porch Thoughts and memories go on forever As the dark night-time snuffs out the sun's torch Are things still the same in Lake Fork Land? I aim to get back there, as soon as I can As soon as I can As soon as I can

Hey Verne! Your lyrics are descriptive and poetic, You have a very visual memory as well. Too bad we can't go back to simpler times. I miss ezfolk,, we can't go back to that either. Some good people there. Stay in touch and keep writing those beautiful songs. I'm your biggest fan Mr. banjo Man!
