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
Lot of "platform dances" when I was a kid...During prohibition, they would move the dances from timber to timber to prevent detection.
Lyrics
Fox Trot Copyrighted by: Verne Garrison February 8, 2010 Banjo tuned E, Capo 1, Key D, 5th string spiked to A Fox Trot D A I remember that night, at the Poplar Club D Mom and Dad were dancing a whole lot G Em And I had to stay in the old model A A D I peeked in the window, they were doing the fox trot A Yeah that fox trot was the dance of the day D Two steps forward, two skips more G Em One up, one back, four more forward that way A D Little hop , just like walkin out the door A Smoothe as silk, my mom and dad D They were really, really light on their feet G Em Happy even when times were bad A D I watched it all from my model A seat A This was in the last part of the thirties D When I was just a lad G Em They were a good-looking couple A D The crowd watched as they danced the fad Tag: D A D The old fox trot, seldom seen today
