After stumbling on the unlikely-seeming-to-me cover of Here It Is by Jonathan Richman, I embarked on a quest. I've been listening a lot to Ten New Songs lately, and I wondered: how many of the songs on that album have been covered? Have they ALL been covered?

The answer is: Yes, yes they have. And once again I am surprised, I think because many of them seem so personal and private to Leonard. But here they are, in other voices:
