About Lake Fork Verne
I am a 76 year old banjo player and singer from Valley Park, Mo. I was born near Lake Fork Township (Illinois) many years ago; and draw from my upbringing in the early thirties till present. Much reminiscing, I admit to; but want to get some of it recorded for those interested in those times, especially for my grand children. Many of my friends from Country Tabs have helped me along in presenting my material, and I want to get them listed as "friends" on this page, when I learn how to do it. Meanwhile thanks for the space and a chance to show my wares. I am big, big fan of John Hartford ("Gentle on My Mind"), Marvin Gaster, Billy Joe Shaver, Merle Haggard, Lefty Frizzell, John Prine, and Jimmie Rodgers, to name a few
