Nature of some of my songs

banjo garrison lake fork verne original country songsame

Verne Garrison (aka Lake Fork Verne)

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

Back-Side of the Power Curve
© by:  Verne Garrison, Valley Park, Mo-July 12, 2007


Backside of the Power Curve

The (D) songs I write (G) I have been (D) told
Are like little chapters in a (A) book
When (D) finished (G) turn the (D) page
And make (A) another (D) fold

That has (G) been my (D) intent
All-----(A) along
To (D) offer little (G) vignettes of my (D) life
And describe (A) them in a (D) song

(D) Now we had a saying (G) while learning to (D) fly
That tested your judgment and your (A) nerve
When (D) making the (G) final (D) approach
Avoid the (A) backside of the power (D) curve

Once in that  (G) position and your touch-down (D) spot
Is short of the runway-(A) dash
There is (D) no way to add (G) enough power to reach (D) it
So………….(A) ….you ….(D) crash

So I try to stay top (G) side of the power (D) curve
When I am writing and singing my (A) songs
Doesnt take much (G) courage or much (D) nerve
To chop off the (A) power when you are right (D) on

So take those (G) little (D) chapters
That make up the pages to my (A) book
Hum (D) them or sing (G) them if thats what youre (D) after
And when you are (A) finished, hang em on your own little (D) hook

Avoid the back(G) side of the power (D) curve
…………Roger four five Alpha (fade)

I think your 'little chapters' are WONDERFUL! I always like to read  along to your lyrics as you sing to really get the full story. By the way.....I rarely rate much more than lyrics and overall, because I just don't feel qualified on the other catagories. 

Have not heard much out of you lately.....are you doing alright?? 
Your Fan!
