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
Lost My Whistle Copyrighted By: Verne Garrison December 20, 2008 Banjo Tuned to E, Key of D, 5th string to B D A I have just lost my whistle D Had it for more than sixty-five years A My front teeth have come out D And it nearly brought me to tears I was taught that whistle by my grandpa Pucker up, curl your tounge and blow thru your teeth But when I try to do it now Theres not a sound, you see I had used that whistle since my youth To call the dog or to scare off the geese Now I cannot do it without my teeth Yes, my attention getter has ceased Always whistled in the kids at supper time Or to get their attention, really quick Their signal to get back home Without missing a lick Its almost as bad as losing my soul Akin to not getting on Noah's Ark Yeah, that sixty-five year old whistle broke It surely was my trademark Now I can whistle no more And I can let it get me down Or grab the bull by the horns And go to the dentist when in town It is one more page to turn In lifes book of events Memories I have had, that are fading now As I learn to deal with the joys of old age
