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
I have carried this stone, or pebble with me for almost 70 years. Given to me by my grandpa Garrison, taken from Lake Fork Creek.
Lyrics
Little Stone Copyrighted by: Verne Garrison August 1, 2010 Valley Park, Mo Banjo tuned E, Capo 3, Key of Eb(5th string Bb) Eb Ab Eb Oh, little pebble there on my desk, Bb7 In my possession each day of my quest Eb Ab Eb Over gravel roads, rolling hills, to Lake Fork creek Bb7 Eb Travelling with me thru the trails that I seek Small stone, so very, very smoothe Dark emerald green, with specks of white My pocket companion thru the day How you comfort me during the dark of night A stone my grandpa gave to me One day while whittling, trying to make me see All of God's great wonders, the great oaks, Blue heavens, rolling prairies there for likes of me Oh little rock, you mean so much to me So thankful now, that I can see That little stone, Grandpa gave to me That little stone, Grandpa gave to me
