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.

Story behind the song
We used to live in a log cabin in the woods. Many birds and much wildlife. Often times a blue jay would come streaking between the trees and fly right into an open window head on and drop down to the ground or the snow.
Lyrics
The Cocky Blue Jay Copyrighted by: Verne Garrison April 10, 2013 Valley Park, Mo Banjo tuned E, Capo 1, Key G Slow Moderate Tempo G C The cocky Blue Jay G Used to visit our oak-covered grounds D7 You could see him night and day G Fluttering to and fro with that bluejay sound: Sound byte: He would come flittering thru the trees Once in awhile he'd hit a window pane That would drop him down to his knees Before he could fly away again He'd lay there on the bank of snow Shaking his head back and forth Trying to get his bearings Then he would take off to the North Sometimes he'd leave some feathers Scattered there in the snow Shook loose from the force Of his fast darting blow Chorus: Yes, that cocky blue jay Used to visit our oak covered grounds You could see him night and day Fluttering to and fro with that bluejay sound: ....sound byte:
