  I too am a very big fan of Ferron.
  However,if there is a similarity it is coincidental and not deliberate.
  As any songwriter will tell you there is no song that has not been written.
  Check out any Dylan album and you will find many songs that have been borrowed in melody and lyric but still occupy their own territory.

  I didn’t know you were a Ferron fan either. My sister Sue introduced me to her music at a Toronto Mariposa Festival too many years ago to remember. I saw her perform in Toronto last spring before moving to BC. She was stupendous as always. Geist has backed Stan Rogers for a long time — and deservedly so. But a search under “Ferron” on http://www.geist.com produces no results. How could this be?

• Hey: a fellow Ferron fan!

  Hey: a fellow Ferron fan! Who knew? And while you’re at it, why not download the entire Testimony album? Or her 1994 album, Driver, equally good. You won’t regret it…
  
  And if you get Bravo! on your cable, tune in on Tuesday, Jan. 20 at 9 p.m. Eastern time / 6 p.m. Pt (10:30 in Newfoundland). They’re airing a one-hour movie on Ferron titled “Ferron: Girl on a Road”; more info here: http://www.bravo.ca/SCHEDULE/Default.aspx?date=1-20-2009
