Artist picture
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
Timberline © By: Verne Garrison; Valley Park, Mo August 30, 2007 Capo 1 …Banjo tuned Eb—Play in Key of D If (D) you would like some quality…..(E) time The (A7) kind where you can really (D) think Take hike to the place called (E) timberline Where (A7) scenery will make you (D) blink Twisted pine trees with shattered (E) bark Busted (A7) limbs from ice shot from fierce (D) winds Temperature extremes have left their (E) mark Jagged (A7) rocks, there since time (D) began This is (G) the line where (A7) time stands (D) still Lush (G) quiet green on (A7) slopes (D) below Deathly silence that tests your (E) will Above that (A7) line, its ice and (D) snow You might see a hawk or a snow shoe or (E) two Maybe a (A7) few snow drop flowers, and some purple (D) hue Begin your muse, under sky so (E) blue At (A7) timber line, not much else (D) to do.

Hi Verne, How are you doing? Great I hope!! Seems like it has been quiet on Soundclick since the Holidays ended. We had a great trip in the Smokies last weekend and it made me think of your 'Timberline' song. The views in the mountains are just so majestic!!! Was Timberline one of your first songs.....I can't remember? I may of asked you before but do you write your lyrics first, then put it to music, or vise versa? Take care and give my regards to Anne! Sincerly, Rosie
