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 made several little knick-knacks over the years. This little slice of a limb with a feather from a flicker-bird is one that I use the most as a bookmark.
Lyrics
Oh, Little Bookmark Copyrighted by: Verne Garrison, Valley Park, Mo November 13, 2010 Banjo Tuned E, Capo 1, Key of G Moderate tempo Chorus: Oh little book-marker, You mean so much to me Made with a high-hole* feather Found under a white pine tree A piece of hickory tree limb I sliced so very thin With Emerson's Wandering Eyeball Drawn on there, with my pen You marked the pages on my many tomes Emerson, Burroughs, Tennyson and Twain Jack London and Robert Services' Alaskan homes Saving my place till I could comeback again Chorus: Tag...Made in 1983.... ***Nickname for the Northern Flicker or Yellowhammer. Burroughs, called them the High-holes....:"Heigh-ho" (vg note). We had a lot of those in our pine trees at the tree farm.
