A Collection of Lyrics by George E. Clark

"Fork of Shenandoah River, Shenandoah Valley, Virginia" by Marion Post Wolcott, Farm Security Administration, http://hdl.loc.gov/loc.pnp/fsa.8c14994
 
 I write songs that matter to me today, often drawing on old time and other folk traditions.

Singer’s Glen*

A love story set in the Shenandoah Valley during the U. S. Civil War.

Jamaica*

A sea chanty about religious persecution, white privilege, and the cycle of violence.

Cold Comfort

A parent grieving for a son lost in a hate crime.

Noemi’s Daughter "Young Woman Looks at a Route Map..." by Jim Pickerell, Environmental Protection Agency, National Archives, ARC Identifier 556822

A bluegrass gospel poem about failing to live up to your biblical heroes.

Suburban Hymn

To the tune of “A Mighty Fortress is Our God.”

Old Man’s Reel (The Curse of Middle Age)

The cognitive dissonance of getting older.  Read this one through to the end.
