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
March at the Narrows Copyrighted by: Verne Garrison February 1, 2011, Valley Park, Mo Banjo Tuned E, Capo 1, Key of A Chorus: The (A)water-brooms hang from high maple (D) limbs And grass clumps cling to sagging willow(A) trees Left there, by the high water in the (E) bends Bobbing up and down,in the cold March (D) breeze The brown-greenish creek water swirls and splits As it goes either side of a muddy sandbar And then joins again with gurgling slits Then makes a sudden sally, seen from afar Under a brilliant blue sky,five feet away An old squirrel, with eyes sunk deep into his head Carries a walnut in his mouth The left-over morsel he saved instead Paying no attention to me He crawls between gnarled maple poles white Part of a beaver dam that I see And disappears from my sight April will be here soon With Sweet Williams and voilets in bloom And John Burroughs' favorite,purple trillium With robins and killdeer, shouting us a tune Chorus: Yeah, The water-brooms hang.......
