Was the plan always to work with Ferrons existing songs?
Why? Ferron: Yes. She chose them. Bitch: Just from hearing her, I would get attached to certain songs that I loved. BW: Ferron, what was it like hearing your music through Bitch’s ears? Ferron: Well at the time it was just me and my guitar. We agreed that I wouldn’t hear the CD until it was done. Because if I had collaborated … it’s like building a boat with your dad, you know? You just end up running for the tools. Part of the deal of passing the torch is that I have to step out of the way. BW: That sounds scary but freeing. Ferron: It’s all part of what I’m trying to teach B. Bitch: What do you mean? Ferron: If I was going to hold on to that project then I wasn’t really ready to let go, was I? I kept telling you that I want a garden, I have other things to do in life besides keep reminding people we’re one big thing that has broken apart. I said it as many ways as I can. But my voice is there, so whatever you do B, I’m endorsing it. I’m there. It’s a very interesting process. BW: A
