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
The Summit Years The Seasons Copyright by: Verne Garrison November 3, 2008 (Election Eve) Banjo tuned to E, play key of D Capo 1 Emerson on fall season- "the haughty day fills His blue urn with fire." The Seasons D Intro: The world is good Em It tastes good A7 D And it delights in all my senses Chorus: The Seasons come, and the Seasons go Em Each with its own charm and show Em7 I am ready for each, and contented A7 D For each with its special glow Verse 1: D Spring is for the delights of sugar making, Em And the returning of the birds Em7 Warm sunshine, creating natures wholesome words A7 D Naked maplewoods for the taking Brown fields slipping their covering of snow Em7 The first Robin, and the first song sparrow A7 D Cue me for my trips to The Narrows Verse 2: Summer is for bare-feet Em Light clothes and hay making tools Em7 And strawberries to eat A7 D Fourth of July, and no school Verse 3: Autumn is for apples and hickory nuts Em Hawks, wild pidgeons, squirrels and their ways Em7 Clear high blue skies, white clouds and such A7 D Those dreamy, tranquill days Verse 4: And how the stars twinkle in the Winter Em The ice sings woops on the ponds Em7 Snow decks the farm fences with glitter A7 D The sheeted winds stalk across the hills Chorus: Yes the Seasons come and the Seasons go Em Each with their own charms and show Em7 I am ready for each and contented A7 D For each with its special glow Tag: Four Seasons, placed here, and for good reason Em7 A7 D The Summit Years, so pleasing.

The Summit Years- Verne, your voice sounds more emotionally attached to the lyrics in this one. I picture you much more relaxed while playing and singing this. Like, your just really enjoying the song and words. Great job my friend! Hope your doing well!! I took a nose dive off the ladder while Christmas decorating and broke a few bones but I'm s-l-o-w-l-y getting mobility back! Such a bummer. I still am unable to type real well but I can still 'listen' to my ole friend VG and his bango!!! Merry Christmas, Rosie
