Sometimes hearing someone else’s song can make you realize that something that you never even knew existed was possible.  For M. Ward it was John Fahey’s record “The Yellow Princess,” which showed him that an artist could say everything he wanted using only one acoustic guitar.  For Dana Falconberry, it was the songs she learned while playing with Redding Hunter in the band “Peter and the Wolf” which changed her approach to songwriting and performing.
